Relative (same notes)
8B C major

Relative major or minor. Same notes, a different mood: minor feels darker, major brighter.

One down (cool off)
7A D minor

One number down. Same closeness, the other direction; use it to cool a room.

One up (energy boost)
9A E minor

One number up. The classic energy boost; the crowd feels the lift without hearing a key change.

Two up (bigger lift)
10A B minor

Two numbers up. A bigger lift that is still mostly in tune; works best over a short blend.

Seven up (tension)
3A A♯ / B♭ minor

Seven numbers up. The dominant key: real tension, a deliberate change of scene. Mix it fast.
