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" {{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.co.uk/music/urban/221067-chew-fu-the-interview |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100515165402/http://www.mtv.co.uk/music/urban/221067-chew-fu-the-interview |url-status=dead |archive-date=May 15, 2010 |title=Chew Fu: The Interview! |publisher=Mtv.co.uk |date= |accessdate=2011-05-03}} because he says that his "remixes are like a completely new productions."{{cite web|url=http://www.lasvegasweekly.com/news/2010/nov/04/three-questions-refixer-chew-fu/ |title=Three questions with "refixer" Chew Fu |publisher=Las Vegas Weekly |date= 4 November 2010|accessdate=2011-05-03}} When DJing Chew Fu only plays his own original productions and remixes.

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."{{cite web |url=http://novegans.com/chew-fu-interview |title=Chew Fu Interview & Exclusive Music |publisher=Novegans.com |date=2009-04-28 |accessdate=2011-05-03 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110603070015/http://novegans.com/chew-fu-interview |archivedate=2011-06-03 }}
