What This Move Does
It lifts the energy one step and changes the mood in the same move — the most interesting of the safe transitions. Use it when a straight +1 feels too subtle but you want more colour than a boost.
In the booth: Compatible keys — mix during breakdown. Line the phrases up, bring the new track in over 16–32 bars, and let the key relationship do the rest — 2B and 3A sit close enough on the wheel that nothing clashes.
The wheel below is set to 2B. The diagonal to 3A sits one step up on the other ring — just outside the four classic highlighted moves, which is what makes it the adventurous option. Tap 3A to see its own safe moves.
Note the direction: 2B → 3A is the named move. Coming back from 3A, you'd usually reach for one of 3A's own five moves instead of retracing this jump.
