For the third installment in our Fresh Selects Remix Series, we turn circle back to one of our more recent releases, in the week of its one year anniversary – Milc & Andy Savoie’s ‘Windbreaker’ album.

Furthering the Pacific Northwest-side connection that the Portland-born rapper & Seattle-based producer established with the collaborative project, when it came to flipping the three-man posse cut “Angels In The Outfield” – featuring two of our favorite Seatown spitters, Greg Cypher (½ of the group Kung Foo Grip) and La – it was only right that we recruit beatmaker Def Dee as our pinch hitter.

Known for having some of the sharpest chops in Seattle, Def Dee is a close collaborator of both Greg Cyph and La’s – producing La’s 2010 certified Seattle rap classic ‘Gravity’, along with it’s follow-up EP ‘Symmetry’ 10 years later, and then Greg Cypher’s ‘Third Stone’ EP the year after in 2021.

Here, Dee takes things out of the NW and brings them overseas on his “Away Game Mix,” blending some breezy Brazilian samba with his own very raw and hard-hitting bass, synth and drum work. While working on mixing Def’s flip, we became so infatuated with all of the cool and subtle things that he was doing in the background of the track – playing each instrument all the way through, with no loops – that we couldn’t help but strip away the rest of the elements, to let those instruments have more of their shine, on the bonus “Synth Scrimmage Mix.”

Rounding out the B-side of the maxi-single, we’ve provided the instrumentals for both Def Dee mixes, along with Andy Savoie’s beat for the original mix of “Angels” (originally named “Be Afraid” in the beat batch Milc received it in).
