Sasha Chizh was born in 1978 in Moscow. In 1991 he swapped a matreshka for a baseball cap with a picture of little bird that looked very much like a siskin, and that is where his DJ name came from (Chizh in Russian means "siskin"). Sasha graduated from a music school and entered the Moscow State Building University. After three years he left the university and became a DJ.
In 2001 Chizh got a residency at the cruising club Barge, and in 2002 in club Mix and DJ-cafe Mio. He also played at many clubs in Moscow: Vi:rus, Territoria, Propaganda, Cocon-club, A-Priori, 16 Tons, Top-club, Okno, Vin&Gret, Rynda Party, Gun-cafe, Ogurets, Plastilin, Freud, Khato, Neo, Park, Zirlich-Manirlich, internet pub Phlegmatic Dog... He visited many clubs all around Russia, took part in snow-boarder festivals and Pall Mall Tour in 2004, and played together with Mathew Herbert, Dirk Diggler, Sami Koivikko, Raynold, P.Toile, Falko Brocksieper, Tom Clark...
Chizh has released two mixes: Contact Method (Gr-rec., Murmansk 2004) and Marshrutnoe Taxi (Flip records, Moscow 2005).
