Fraternities
How much does a fraternity DJ cost?
Nationally, chapter party DJs commonly land in the low four figures, and a hybrid DJ + live guitar act with production sits above a laptop-only DJ. Mixmode quotes per event based on date, city, venue, attendance and production scope — send those details and you get a number within one business day.
What that means in practice
Fraternity events are loud, dense and short. The rig has to survive an outdoor lot or a house floor, and the set has to hold a room that is already at full energy when doors open.
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.

How do I get pricing?
Send your date, city, venue, expected attendance and event type through the booking form, email booking@mixmodemusic.com, or text (512) 964-9722. Quotes come back within one business day.
What drives the price of a booking?
Date and day of week, travel distance, set length, whether you need production (sound, lighting, LED) and how much of the day is covered — a ceremony-through-afterparty wedding costs more than a single 90-minute club set.
What is the deposit and cancellation policy?
A 50% deposit confirms the date and the balance is due day-of. Force-majeure language covers weather, illness and travel disruption.
Do you work with college programming boards?
Yes. Mixmode plays campus concerts, welcome-week events, formals and tailgates, and can work with a programming board's insurance, W-9 and purchase-order process.
What does a fraternity party need to pull off a big set?
Adequate power on separate circuits, a defined stage or riser area, crowd barricade if the stage is at floor level, and a sound package sized to the lot or venue — plus a rain plan for outdoor dates.
Does a hybrid act cost more than a DJ?
Yes, and less than a full band. It is two performers with one compact rig, so it sits between a solo DJ and a band. Final pricing depends on date, travel, set length and production.
