Tongue-in-cheek:
If you want to be competitive, just do what all the PDs, Producers,
Production guys, and almost everyone Ive run across does:
Download the source in crappy mp3 format.
Bring it up in the digital editor and add compression until the
resulting waveform looks like a rectangle when fully zoomed out.
Run it through a few pre-processors after it leaves the automation
system, and make sure all the knobs are "turned to 11". See here for a
good explanation:

Make sure when playing it through the console the VU meters are always
"in the red".
Ask the chief to adjust the final processing to again add even more
compression for that "brick wall of sound".
To verify you have done everything correctly:
If the modulation meter EVER drops below 98%, go back and add more
compression.
