The Global Remix Challenge Returns With Madonna’s Grammy-Winning “Ray of Light”


Producers worldwide are invited to remix one of pop’s most iconic electronic anthems for a chance to win a grand prize worth over $12,000.





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.


Launching August 28, 2025, in collaboration with Madonna, Rhino Entertainment, Warner Records, and LabelRadar, the Madonna Global Remix Challenge invites emerging and established producers to put their unique spin on “Ray of Light”. Remix stems are now available to participants for the challenge, and can be downloaded below. The winner will be taking home a grand prize studio pack worth over $12,000 – including cutting-edge gear, software bundles, and a signed vinyl from Madonna herself.


Prizes

2nd Place Prize Package:

3rd Place Prize Package:

The challenge coincides with the release of Veronica Electronica on Warner Records – a long-rumored remix companion to Ray of Light, released earlier this summer with edits from Orbit, Sasha, BT, Peter Rauhofer and Victor Calderone. This is your moment to be counted amongst these dance music mavericks, remix a classic and etch your sound into the legacy of one of pop’s most cherished icons.

Good luck!
