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
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.
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 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.
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 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.
