Corporate
Has Mixmode performed corporate events?
Yes, including events for brands such as Tesla, SpaceX and Alaska Airlines, with the set scaled to the room and audience.
What that means in practice
Corporate work is run-of-show driven: hard start times, speeches, awards and a dance-floor window at the end. The set is programmed around the schedule rather than the other way around.
Mixmode is based in Austin, Texas and tours nationwide. Jordan Miller is the DJ and producer; Kristian Cruz plays live electric guitar on stage for the entire set. That two-person format is what makes this answer different from a standard DJ answer or a standard band answer — you get recorded-quality tracks and a live player at the same time.

What is Mixmode?
Mixmode is a hybrid DJ + live electric guitar duo based in Austin, Texas. Jordan Miller DJs and produces the set while Kristian Cruz plays live electric guitar over it, on stage, for the whole show.
Who is in Mixmode?
Two people: Jordan Miller, the DJ and producer, and Kristian Cruz, the live electric guitarist. Jordan does not play guitar — the guitar parts are all played live by Kristian.
What is a hybrid DJ?
A hybrid DJ set is a normal DJ performance with a live instrumentalist playing on top of it in real time. You keep the seamless, non-stop energy of a DJ and add the visual and sonic payoff of a live musician.
Is a DJ + guitarist better than a band?
For dance-floor-driven events, usually yes: you get every song in its original recording, no set breaks, a smaller stage footprint, lower production cost, and still a live performer. A full band is the better choice when you want vocal-led live covers all night.
How far in advance should we book?
Prime festival and corporate dates (April–October, plus New Year's Eve) usually book 6–12 months out. Weddings and private events typically confirm 4–9 months ahead.
Can you do custom edits and first-dance arrangements?
Yes. Custom edits, walk-in music, live-guitar first-dance arrangements and brand moments for corporate activations are standard requests.
