The festival, which takes place from August 17 through 23, will host a slew of people from all around to witness the stunning solar eclipse, which is rumored to not only be a stunning sight (total darkness in the middle of the day), but also have a strange effects on animals and humans too.

To prepare for the event, Meyer has contributed an extensive playlist of tunes to soundtrack the moments leading up to the solar eclipse. Get into it below.

"I was always a big fan of the original, but I can't get enough of the lovely, emotional main part with the pads/strings and the very spiritual sounding flute melody, which is only featured in the break and never again. I was actually thinking of the Robot Heart stage at Burning Man in the desert of Nevada when created this. I think it fits really well."

" When I think about the desert, dunes and oases and put this image into music, THIS is THE track. I will never forget the moment when I played a sunrise set in the middle of the desert in Morocco. This was a magical moment!"
