He is best known for his official refixes for pop artists including Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Timbaland, Mariah Carey, Far East Movement and Robyn and his distinctive style of production which features a fusion of electro house and hip hop music.

Instead of using the term remix, Chew Fu coined the term "refix" [3] because he says that his "remixes are like a completely new productions." [4] When DJing Chew Fu only plays his own original productions and refixes.[3]

On where his name came from, "My crew came up with it when I was producing tracks for Bad Boy Records to describe my production process and style. Chew Fu is the sound made during and after I’ve consumed a track and spit out a hot refix." [5]

Early life

Kardolus grew up in Almere, Netherlands. He graduated with honors from the saxophone at the Utrecht Conservatory with Piet Noordijk. He is a classically trained jazz musician who holds a master's degree in Music.[6]

He moved to Brooklyn in 2001 to get a start in music. He spread his music for free on weblogs. Chew Fu got his start in the industry working for Diddy[3] and Quincy Jones's record label Qwest.[6] as well as utilizing a worldwide network of dance music bloggers.

Chew Fu began "producing hip hop with house music back in 2005, because he wanted to play it in the clubs but no-one was making it."[7] He switched to house music until it caught on in 2010 when he began to produce remixes for Lady Gaga, Timbaland, and Rihanna.

gollark: One does not simply "learn" English.
gollark: I suspect it's one of those general conformity things, and also probably tied into the social signalling things where people insist it's """smart""".
gollark: In America they have the really stupid clauses of the DMCA which probably would make that illegal, but I don't believe we have that.
gollark: You *are*, I think, allowed to make backups of things for personal use. Or it might be in some other country. I forgot.
gollark: The law is generally more specific than that.
