"SO GET UP" is a vocal poem originally written and vocalized by Californian poet and artist, ITHAKA (Ithaka Darin Pappas). It was recorded for the first time (with a hip hop instrumental) on Radio Commercial in Lisbon, Portugal in 1993, where Ithaka resided between the years of 1992-1998.

He later recorded it in 1994 with the house music duo Underground Of Lisbon on a local label called Kaos, who licensed it (without authorization from the lyricist) to Tribal Records in New York who put a a ten-mix double vinyl release with mixes by Junior Vasquez and Danny Tenaglia. Also included was an acapella of Ithaka's vocal which began a feeding frenzy of mixes, some legal but mostly bootlegs. Producer stole from other producers, never really knowing where the vocal and lyrics came from assuming it was pubic domain.

In 2014, the German trance act Cosmic Gate released it yet again, it became a hit and they based there entire world tour on it including merchandise (with even so much as a vocal credit).


In 2016, an authorized version of the track was presented by Club Atlas at the Red Bull Music Academy's 'Culture Clash Lisbon' music competition. The group took the evening's top honors.

To date So Get Up has been remixed and released more than 900 times in 23 countries. Sometimes called, "Forget The Past", "Get Up, Go Insane!", "The End Of The Earth", "Insane", "Go Outside, Have A Blast" etc.

Note: Ithaka is also the lyricist and vocalist of the underground hip hop hit, "Escape From The City Of Angels" which appeared in Antoine Fuqua's film "The Replacement Killers" starring Chow Yun Fat and Mira Sorvino (Columbia Pictures).
