While today's East Coast storm ended up being a bit anti-climatic, numerous North American cities woke up to snow-covered driveways and trickier-than-usual commutes this morning. Luckily for those still digging out their walkways, Kentucky producer Ellie Herring has delivered a soundtrack for shoveling or any other physical activities.

Kicking off with London house producer Night Owl's sublime remix of Kraftwerk's "Home Computer," the hour-long mix will get your blood flowing in no time, and features songs by electronic veterans (Derrick Carter's "Where U At," Miss Kittin's "Girlz") and more recent fare by the likes of Cozzy D, DJ Hauz, and Riva Starr. She also includes the airy, pulsating "Wheels On," a highlight from her shape-shifting 2016 EP, What a Joy.

"I've been incorporating a lot of traditional house and techno elements into the tracks I'm producing lately and this mix is definitely a by-product of that process," the producer tells THUMP over email. "These tracks are by artists that are super recent and longtime inspirations of mine."

Check it out below, and if you're at SXSW this week, catch Herring at Driftless Recordings and Gorilla vs. Bear's showcase on March 16.
