What This Move Does

Same notes, darker mood: flipping to the relative minor makes the set feel deeper and more driving without any harmonic risk. Use it to take a bright room somewhere moodier without breaking the groove.

In the booth: Relative major/minor — emotional shift, works great. Line the phrases up, bring the new track in over 16–32 bars, and let the key relationship do the rest — 5B and 5A share the same notes.
