"Hit The Decks" is a radio show broadcast on WRZX (X103) in Indianapolis. From house to hip hop, electro to drum and bass, and everything in between, we're an equal opportunity offender. Check us out Sundays from 10p to 12a. We try to post our play list each week in the blog section of this site early in the week, so be sure to check it out in case you heard something you liked. We'll be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century soon, with a weekly podcast of the show available each week.
As for me... Where to begin...
I've been a club DJ for over 20 years and a producer and studio engineer for over 15 years. My career(?) in music began as a bedroom DJ in the mid-1980s and progressed to various club and mobile jobs (ah, the joys of being a wedding DJ). I did some work on the air in college at WCCR, Purdue University (where I earned a Masters Degree in Metallurgical Engineering). As my interest in music progressed from DJ to producer, I started a short-lived multimedia production company during the internet boom of the late 90s. The goal was to create a complete remixing facility, recording studio, and mastering lab. I produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered project from a number of bands, vocalists, electronic musicians, and video soundtracks. From 2000-2006, I was (along with Jonathan Keith) a contributor and the primary producer for WRZX’s “Planet X” radio program. Additionally, I assisted in hosting events and bringing some of the hottest national and international DJ talent to events in Indianapolis. I'm currently hosting and producing WRZX's "Hit The Decks", Sundays 10pm-12am.
