Booking
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.
What that means in practice
Booking runs on four details: date, city, venue and headcount. Those four decide the rig, the travel plan and the quote, which is why the booking form asks for them before anything else.
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.

People also ask
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.
Should I hire a DJ or a band for my wedding?
A DJ gives you the exact recordings guests know and no set breaks; a band gives you live energy but a smaller song catalog and scheduled breaks. A hybrid DJ + live guitar act gives you both: original recordings, continuous music, and a live player on stage.
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.
How long is a Mixmode set?
A headline set is typically 60–120 minutes. Weddings and corporate events are usually built as multiple shorter segments across the day.
Does Country EDM work at a wedding?
It works well in Texas and the South, where the crowd already knows the country catalog. The usual approach is straight country and classics early, then country-EDM edits once the floor is full.
