Beatport has launched its latest Global Remix Challenge, inviting producers worldwide to reimagine Madonna’s iconic 1998 track “Ray of Light”.
Madonna’s cult 1998 album Ray of Light marked a pivotal shift in pop, introducing electronic music to a broader audience and helping pave the way for its mainstream breakthrough. The Grammy-winning album’s title track, co-produced with legendary UK electronic innovator William Orbit, fused trance, techno, and pop into a spiritual club masterpiece that took over the airwaves and redefined her artistic trajectory, giving birth to the artist’s medieval‑tinged electronic alter‑ego, Veronica Electronica.
Now, nearly three decades later, Beatport is giving producers around the world the chance to leave their mark on this timeless tune.
Remix stems are now available to download, and participants can submit their entry until September 25th, 2025.
The winner will be taking home a grand prize studio pack worth over $12,000 USD, including cutting-edge gear, software bundles, and a signed vinyl from Madonna herself. Participants will also receive a free copy of Excite Audio’s Bloom Drum Machine Lite.
