MixmodeDJ With Live Electric Guitar
One rehearsed, touring act: DJ Jordan Miller on the decks, Kristian Cruz on live electric guitar — built for festivals, nightclubs, corporate events, weddings, and private events. Country EDM at the core.
Who We Are
What is Mixmode?
Mixmode is a DJ with guitar act from Austin, Texas: a continuous DJ set with live electric guitar played over it. Jordan Miller mixes on the decks, Kristian Cruz plays the guitar. One rehearsed touring show — not a DJ with a musician added on, and not a cover band.
The duo headlines festivals and nightclubs and performs at corporate events, weddings, afterparties, and private events across the United States. Country EDM is the core sound — Jordan also releases and tours it solo as Country EDM artist Jordan Miller — while punk rock, classic rock, hip-hop, Latin, house, and emo all move through the same Mixmode set.
“I've never seen a DJ with a guitar before.”
The difference
Not an add-on. One act.
Most “DJ with live instruments” packages start with a DJ and add a musician for part of the night. Mixmode was built the other way around. The DJ set and the live electric guitar were designed as one show from the beginning, and the two performers rehearse, arrange and tour it together.
DJ + add-on musician
- A DJ is booked first; a musician is added on for part of the event.
- The two performers may never have played together before the date.
- The musician improvises on top of whatever the DJ happens to play.
- Who shows up can change from booking to booking.
Mixmode — one DJ + electric guitar act
- One act, booked as one act: DJ and electric guitarist together.
- We rehearse the material together and tour the same show.
- Arrangements are edited so the guitar has a written place in the track.
- Transitions, drops, solos and cues are built together in advance.
The practical result is one cohesive act rather than two performers meeting at a venue. Read the full breakdown on the DJ with guitar page, or see how the format compares with other DJ with live instruments formats.

Yes. Passports are current, work visas can be secured with adequate lead time, and we've routed dates in Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. For EU/UK/APAC, expect 90–120 days for visas and international freight of production elements.
A signed contract and 50% deposit confirm the date. Balance is due day-of-show via wire or certified funds. Cancellation terms and force-majeure language are outlined in the standard performance agreement, provided at contract stage.
Performance & Format
Mixmode is a hybrid duo — DJ Jordan Miller behind the decks with Kristian Cruz on live electric guitar. 60–120 minute headline sets, scalable to multi-set nights. Included: performance, custom setlist curation, MC/announcements when requested, and pre-event coordination with your production team.
Mixmode is a live show, not a DJ playing tracks and not a band grinding through covers. Country, EDM, hip-hop, rock, Latin, and emo all mix in one set — with live electric guitar played on top of festival-grade production. It's designed for main stages and packed dance floors.
Yes to all four. The show scales from an intimate 150-person wedding to a 30,000-capacity festival main stage. We tailor tone, tempo, and setlist to your audience — a Fortune 500 gala reads differently than a Saturday-night warehouse, and we plan for both.
Yes. Custom edits, walk-in music, first-dance arrangements, brand moments for corporate activations, and bespoke intros are all standard. Larger customizations (original edits, produced content for the LED wall) are quoted as production add-ons.
Yes. Meet & greets, photo lines, backstage hospitality moments, and short pre-show Q&As can be added for VIP ticket holders, sponsors, or private clients. Requested in advance and scheduled around soundcheck.
Production & Technical
For most rooms the buyer provides FOH, monitors, and standard DJ backline. For smaller private events without in-house production, we can bring a scaled sound + lighting package — quoted separately based on room size and expected attendance.
A full technical rider, stage plot, input list, power requirements, and hospitality rider are available in the EPK. Mixmode adds a guitar input, DI, and one wedge monitor. Our advance team coordinates with your production manager 30 days out to confirm every detail.
Outdoor bookings should include a covered stage or a defined weather contingency (indoor backup, tenting, or a rescheduled slot). Force-majeure language in the performance agreement covers cancellations due to unsafe conditions. We're happy to review your weather plan during advance.
