Rudy Kizer

Rudy Kizer has been a vocal advocate of electronic music, its artists and culture for over 20 years. 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. While at Purdue University, Rudy got his own turn on the air at WCCR, learning the ropes of format radio programming. An engineering student, his interests soon progressed from DJ to producer. After graduating, he started a multimedia production company and recording studio during the late ’90s Internet boom where he produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered a wide array of bands, vocalists, and electronic music projects.

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. Rudy has opened for Paul Van Dyk, The Crystal Method, DJ Dan, Bad Boy Bill, DJ Icey, and many others. His seasoned ear for good music and years of eclectic programming experience guides his floor-moving mix of electro-house, breaks, dubstep, and drum-and-bass. Beginning in the spring of 2007, Rudy became the host and producer of “Hit The Decks,” an alternative dance program, airing Sundays from 10pm to midnight on WRZX until June 2012.
