Chew Fu is a New York-based electronic record producer, remixer and DJ, born in the Netherlands.[1][2]

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]
