He is best known for his official remixes 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 remixes.[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]

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.
