Beatport has teamed up with the quartet of The Black Eyed Peas, consisting of will.i.am, Fergie, apl.de.ap, and Taboo, to offer aspiring producers the chance to remix their current number one hit single ‘I Gotta Feeling’.

‘I Gotta Feeling’ is the second single from the band’s new album ‘The E.N.D.’, and continues to sit at No.1 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart since its release. It has sold over 2 million downloads. The Black Eyed Peas just made Billboard history as the only artist with the longest successive stay at the top of the Hot 100 chart with 20 consecutive weeks at #1.

This special remix contest will give dance producers the chance to remix one of the biggest groups in pop music, and join remixing greats David Guetta, Jazzy Jeff, Boys Noize, Pete Rock, and Lil Jon who have also remade tracks by The Black Eyed Peas in the past.
