Scorching the airwaves every week on his “Hit The Decks” radio show, Rudy Kizer has been a champion of music and artists as a DJ and producer for over 20 years now. Coming of age in the Chicago area, he was inspired by the legendary “Hot Mix 5″ radio mixers and started spinning records in his bedroom. As his skills developed, he began performing various mobile and club gigs, often slipping in house music classics he heard from the radio. While at Purdue University, Rudy got his own turn on the air at WCCR, playing an eclectic format for a discriminating college audience. An engineering student, his interests soon progressed from DJ to producer. He started a multimedia production company during the late ’90s internet boom and produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered a wide array of sessions, including band and vocalist demos, electronic musician projects, and video soundtracks.

From 2000-2006, he was a contributor and the primary producer for WRZX’s “Planet X” radio program (hosted by Jonathan Keith). He assisted in hosting Planet X’s “SPACE” events at Eden nightclub, bringing some of the hottest national and international DJ talent to perform in Indianapolis for the first time. As a DJ himself, Rudy has opened for Paul Van Dyk, DJ Dan, Bad Boy Bill, DJ Icey, and many others. His seasoned ear for good music and years of eclectic programming experience informs his floor-moving mix of electro-house, breaks, dubstep, and drum-and-bass. Rudy is the host and producer of “Hit The Decks,” an alternative dance program on WRZX, Sundays from 10 p.m. till 12 midnight.
