    Real campus footage

    This is what the night looks like.

    A DJ set with a live electric guitarist on the same stage. The crowd gets the records they already know, plus somebody actually playing in front of them. That is the part students film and put on their stories.

    About Jordan

    He came up on the college circuit.

    Jordan Miller started out as a college DJ in Central Florida, playing campus parties alongside SteveWillDoIt and teaming up with Kirill Was Here of Assholes Live Forever on three events. He opened for Two Friends at Gilt in Orlando.

    He knows how a campus night actually runs: the pregame energy, the singalong peak, the moment the whole room loses it. Now he brings that with Kristian Cruz on live electric guitar, so your students get a DJ set and a live show in one booking.

    What it is

    Colleges & Universities with Mixmode.

    College booking means Mixmode is programmed as a campus concert act — an opener, direct support, or headliner for a programming board, student union, or campus concert series. The set is the hybrid duo format built around Country EDM with wide crossover, sized from a 60-minute opener to a 90-minute headline. Clean edits are available for the entire set, and advance paperwork is handled to the standard university procurement and production teams expect.

    Who it's for

    • Programming boards and student activities offices
    • Student unions producing homecoming or welcome week
    • Campus concert series and spring concert committees
    • University event and production staff advancing a show

    Why buyers book it

    What colleges bookers get.

    Names your students already know

    Jordan has shared stages with Steve Aoki, Carnage, Dillon Francis, John Summit, What So Not, ACRAZE, Boombox Cartel, Two Friends, and Loud Luxury, and his SXSW support set was reviewed by Billboard. He started out as a college DJ in Central Florida playing parties alongside Kirill Was Here of Assholes Live Forever and SteveWillDoIt.

    Two audiences, one booking

    Country and dance in the same act means the show pulls students who'd otherwise skip a single-genre booking. Themed programming — an emo night or pop punk singalong — fits the same crossover logic.

    Paperwork that clears procurement

    Technical rider, stage plot, input list, W-9, and insurance certificates handled directly with your office.

    Clean-set option

    Radio-safe versions across the whole set, specified at contract, so the booking doesn't create a policy problem.

    Scales to the space

    A quad, a ballroom, or an arena stage — the set and production plan are built for the venue you actually have.

    The format

    Why DJ + live guitar is different.

    Campus budgets rarely stretch to a full touring band, and a DJ-only booking often underdelivers on a stage that size. The hybrid duo lands in between: a live electric guitarist gives the show a visible performance and real solos, while the DJ set keeps the programming broad enough that the crowd doesn't thin out between songs.

    Event types

    Where it fits.

    • Homecoming concerts and pep events
    • Welcome week and orientation shows
    • Spring concerts and end-of-year events
    • Student union and campus series programming
    • Family and parents' weekend entertainment
    • Athletics events, tailgates, and championship celebrations
    • Emo night and pop punk singalong themed programming

    Add-ons

    FAQs

    Answered.

    Still have questions? Send them in the quote form — we reply personally within one business day.

    What set lengths work for campus events?

    A 60-minute opener or a 75 to 90 minute headline are the most common formats. Longer sets can be quoted.

    Do you offer clean, radio-safe sets?

    Yes — clean edits can be specified for the entire set at contract stage.

    Can you provide insurance and vendor paperwork?

    Yes. Certificates of insurance, W-9, and university vendor forms are handled with your office ahead of the date.

    How far in advance should we book?

    Four to six months of lead time is comfortable for campus dates; homecoming and spring concert dates often confirm earlier.

    Who provides production?

    Most campus events use in-house or a contracted AV vendor, and we advance directly with them. Where there's no production, a scaled package can be quoted.

    Can we see footage before proposing to our board?

    Yes — recent crowd footage is on the video wall, and the full EPK with bios, riders, and photos is available on request.
