Cosmic Gate "So Get Up" Live In Acapulco

Materia Chapter.One

Cosmic Gate

20/01/2017 The clock’s struck 12, the countdown’s over and your wait is done! Chapter.One of ‘Materia’ - Cosmic Gate’s planetary new artist album, is available from today.
‘Materia’s maiden chapter (already a MIXMAG album of the month!) presents a mouthwatering co-production array. Comprised of nine recordings, it abounds with tracks in partnership with Cosmic cohorts both established and new! You’ll quickly find ‘Edge Of Life’, Nic & Bossi’s Spotify-smashing (2 millions streams and counting!) latest with Californian-based singer Eric Lumiere. Marking their third outing with JES, the album weighs anchor with ‘Materia’s vanguard single ‘Fall Into You’. In both name and nature, ‘Dynamic’ is the outcome of CG’s second studio meet-up with Ferry Corsten. Melding (says DJ Mag in their 8/10 review) “grit and melody in equal proportions”, stylishly it picks right up where their autumn Spotify & chart dynamo ‘Event Horizon’ left off. Working in perfect synergy, ‘Spectrum’, their debut co-op with iLan Bluestone, is the perfect summation of the trio’s trance nuance and ingenuity.

‘Materia’ (Mātěrĭa - Latin. Fem. Noun. Decl.): base, matter, essence, the substance that all things are made of).Backed by Alastor ‘s crowd-rousing vocals ‘Fight The Feeling’s sleek, cruising trance lines brings another ready made floor-roar to ‘Materia’s tracklist. Sung by Tim White, the more daytime inclined ‘The Deep End’ meanwhile supplies the album one of its several natural born radio-wave gifts. Long on CG’s collaboration must-do list, Chapter.One’s latter stages see Julie Thompson join ‘Materia’s honour roll. The English songstress’ full vocal range burns vocal heart & soul into the hauntingly ethereal ‘Fireflies’. At Chapter One’s endzone lies the Beatport #1 'am2pm’ and new speaker-spanker ‘Halo’, which bring a counterweighting instrumental balance to ‘Materia’s vocal coterie. ‘Speaking’ directly to clubfloors, each carries the unmistakably tenacious hallmarks of Cosmic Gate’s production complexion.

So Get Up - Portugal's Big Break

A ground breaking song in many ways for both Portugal and beyond. This marked a major push forward for the Iberian dance music world. Elevating Underground Sound Of Lisbon (and Portuguese dance music) to a true international level.
This particular track was a collaboration between the progressive house talents of U.S.L. (DJ Vibe & Rui Da Silva) and a Greek-American songwriter and vocalist from Los Angeles, called Ithaka.

Ithaka (who lived in Portugal 1992-1998) wrote this vocal-poem originally for his daily segment of a program called “Bairro Quatro” on Rádio Comercial in Lisbon – in early 1993. It was first recited live on the radio, then a few months later recorded as a Kraftwerk-inspired musical demo in the UK. This version was not released until 2017 (So Get Up & The Lost Acapellas).
However in late 1993, USL invited Ithaka (Ithaka Darin Pappas) to appear on the B-Side of a single they were doing to launch their new label, Kaos.
Ithaka showed up at the studio with a book full of lyrics, but So Get Up rose above the others.
And from this 3rd recording of So Get Up (and its subsequent release of an acapella on a multi-disc 12" vinyl-set), most remixes and other derivative tracks have been spawned.
Some of the more known remixes have been by: Junior Vasquez, Danny Tenaglia, Lexicon Avenue, Fatboy Slim, Miss Kittin, Cosmic Gate etc.
To date there are well over one-thousand documented releases, mixes and bootlegs of So Get Up under varying titles such as “Get Up”, “Insane”, “Get Up, Go Insane!”, “Next Life”, “See You In The Next Life” “The End Of The Earth”, “Hardventure”, “Headcharge”, “Belther”, “Last Resurrection”, “PPF (Past Present Future)”, “Intensity”, “Forget The Past”, “Trance Line”, etc

In 2013, twenty years after it was first written and recorded, trance legend Armin Van Buuren re-introduced Ithaka's iconic EDM vocal poem So Get Up (The End Of The Earth) to a new generation by playing a version by Cosmic Gate on his popular global A State Of Trance radio program and featuring it on his mix album A State Of Trance 2013 (Armada Records).

Ithaka Darin Pappas: writer vocalist of the apocalyptic, So Get Up

In March of 1993, a demo version of So Get Up was recorded in Manchester, United Kingdom with producer Simon Bradshaw. And later, in February of 1994, Ithaka was invited to rerecord the poem for the B-Side of the first vinyl release of Underground Sound Of Lisbon on Kaos Records, Portugal. It was an almost instant national hit and soon released (along with an acapella version) internationally by Tribal (USA), a subsidiary of Stuart Copeland's IRS Records in New York.

Interestingly, although the poem was written and vocalized by Ithaka a year before ever meeting Underground Sound Of Lisbon, no public vocal credit was included on those first releases.

The USL version and the new remixes by Junior Vazquez and Danny Tenaglia were quite popular themselves (selling at least 50,000 units) but because an acapella was included in these major distributions, literally hundreds of new mixes appeared in just a few years. Many producers simply changed the title (sometimes not) and put the entire vocal on their own instrumentals and called it their own.

The vocal acapella has also been released under the titles; "Get Up", "Get Up Go Insane", "So Get Up Atom Bride", "The End Of the Earth", "Next Life", "See You In The Next Life", "Intro", "Headcharge" and "Hardventure"

The vocal itself has never had a sonic style specifically associated with it, it has kept changing it's clothes and modernizing itself with the times.

The spoken-word acapella was originally read on-air on top of an instrumental version of a Naughty-By-Nature hip hop song, and this UK demo version is a mid-tempo electro-style track,. The vocal never had a sonic style specifically associated with it,
it has kept changing it's clothes and modernizing itself with the times.

The USL, Tenaglia and Junior Vazquez versions were progressive and tribal house

And since then have versions have appeared in almost every avenue of global electronic music such as; Trance, Dubstep, Drum & Bass, Big Beat, Trip Hop, Tech House, Electronic Art Rock etc.

Groups, producers and DJs that have released So Get Up inculude; Derek Marin, Peter Bailey, Pagano, Ben Gold, Eric Kupper, Cosmic Gate, Armin Van Buuren, Ricardo Diaz, Nixu Zsun, Oxia (France), Mert Yucel (Turkey), Igor Carmo (Portugal), Miss Kittin (Germay), Public Domain (Holland), Fat Boy Slim (Norman Cook) UK, Stretch & Verne (UK), Lexington Avenue, Damage People, Mirabeau, Ma-Beckerfield, FuturePlays (from Mexico), Dj Screw (Thailand), Djz Rom (Cambodia), Technoboy (Italy), Frankyeffe (Italy), Maik Ibane, Murt Yucel (Turkey), Mowree (Italy), Razat (Portugal), Tuneboy (Italy), K-Traxx (Italy), Dylan Hilsley (UK), DJ Vibe, Cee Cee Lee (Italy), Alex Di Stefano, etc etc etc.

As of December 2016, with a staggering 1129 documented and released mixes, So Get Up is considered "The Most Remixed Vocal Acapella In Musical History" by the Guinness World Records.

Lack Of Vocal Credit In EDM by Raj Dabral (EX: "So Get Up" by Ithaka)

So Get Up (the poem)...NOT by Cosmic Gate - NOT by Underground Sound Of Lisbon. I am currently writing an article for EDMania Magazine (Brazil) about the lack of lyric and vocal credit in dance music (even though some of our music is very lyrical indeed). After six-weeks of research, the example (of hundreds) that most repeatedly keeps hitting me in the head is SO GET UP !. One of the most used vocals in the history of music (ALL music). 

Ironically after hearing the voice for nearly 12 years, I only recently discovered the source of this iconic dance festival anthem. It was written (and vocalized) in 1993 by a Greek-Californian from Los Angeles, Ithaka (aka Ithaka Darin Pappas), a well-known contemporary artist, writer/poet and producer, who musically is more associated with hip hop and trip hop. 

Obviously, the true identifying factor of all 1150 trance, house, big beat, drum & bass, grabber and dubstep mixes of the absolutely iconic So Get Up are the timeless lyrics and animated vocal of Mr. Pappas. 

Does any of this even matter? 

Personally I despise rap music, but are we so wrapped up in our electronic wonderland not to show at least a little love to a poet, whose work as been heard by more people around the world than have ever read Emerson ? 

PS: Another IIthaka song, Escape From The City Of Angels ((hip hop) debuted in acclaimed film director Antoine Fuqua feature movie The Replacement Killers and is considered a true underground hip hop classic:

"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).

So Get Up At Neo Pop Festival

Source: http://www.redbull.com/en/music/stories/1331605671473/when-underground-sound-of-lisbon-took-over-the-world 7 August 2013 Theorists have argued that Portugal’s strong connection to rock music derives from the country’s deeply ingrained nostalgia, its connection to fado and the sound of the Portuguese guitar. It makes sense: dance music’s uplifting vibe and celebrative moods aren’t the first connections someone might make with the classic fado diva lament that is now a world treasure recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage (when will they recognise techno as such?). With that in mind, it’s not surprising that Portugal’s first impact in the world of dance music back in 1993, as house turned into rave and moved into fields and massive open-air venues, was achieved with a track that sounded as grim and dark as some of the most introspective fado: “The end of the world is upon us / Pretty soon it will all turn to dust” It’s not exactly day-glo, happy hardcore fodder is it? © DJ Vibe The words to So Get Up, the Underground Sound Of Lisbon’s 1994 world smash, belonged to Ithaka Darin Pappas, a seasoned traveler, surfer and sculptor from California of Greek descent, who for a while had a parallel career in Portugal as the rapper and frontman of Ithaka. In ’93, when he laid the vocals to a song stuck on the B-side of the aptly titled Chapter One, no one could have imagined that the nascent Kaos Records would go on to license the track to the then powerful Tribal America label that would then hand it over to be remixed by heavyweights like Junior Vasquez and Danny Tenaglia. The song urged people to “go outside and have a blast”, connecting with a nihilistic ethos that prevailed on the dancefloor. And it ignited the brief world domination by Tribal, based on a harder and edgier sound. New York was the centre of the world, but Portugal revealed itself as a kind of secret paradise, a “new Ibiza”. So Get Up sold lorry-loads worldwide and was licensed for countless dance compilations – for a brief moment the planet was marching to the sound of just one tribal drum. But it also altered Portugal’s dependence on rock, opening dancefloors all over the country to progressive electronic beats and paving the way for today’s healthy club scene. It also birthed a network of producers who’ve managed to stay away from fado guitars while at the same time reinventing the very fabric of Portuguese soul through electronic beats. “I wasn’t even interested in running labels or making music, I just wanted to be a DJ,” said Tó Pereira, aka DJ Vibe, one half of The Underground Sound of Lisbon with Rui da Silva, recently. He speaks fondly of Portuguese rave from the first half of the ’90s – a more tribal, more percussive sound connected to our history and Africa’s. That’s why he still rates So Get Up as his best work – “way above anything else”. That’s how you rate classics: placing them above anything else. “Go a thousand miles in a jet plane / Go out of your mind, go insane”. That still resonates.

SO GET UP: U.S.L. featuring Ithaka

In 1994, a newly formed
project of dance music in
Portugal called U.S.L.
(or Underground Sound of Lisbon)
invited Californian expatriate
ITHAKA (aka: Ithaka Darin Pappas, aka: Korvowrong),
who was living in Lisbon at
the time, to participate on the
B-Side of their first
12"-single called Chapter One.

Ithaka, who was a visual artist
and published short-story writer,
also worked part-time as a guest host
on the national radio station,
Radio Commercial.

Dj Vibe -aka To Pereira
(one half of the USL duo)-
already a famous dance
DJ in Europe, also
worked at the station.

Rui da Silva
(aka Dr. J, USL's other half)
was responsible technically
for Underground Sound
of Lisbon's sonic quality.

It was an unlikely combination
of talents; two house music
geniuses and a spoken-word
poet/surfer. And although
no one at the time involved
with the recording
(including USL's label,
Kaos-Portugal)
had any idea what kind
of impact the three
artists would eventually make,
the end results were staggering.

"SO GET UP" became an
instantaneous monster hit
in Portugal, which quickly
lead to an overseas
contract with Tribal (UK & USA).
elevating it all the way to #7
on the UK-Billboard Magazine's,
Indy Dance Chart and taking
the club world by storm.

Through the years the song
has become a true dance classic,
appearing on over one-hundred
international compilations
with sales in the millions.
And every year, new mixes
continue appearing.

In 2003, Berlin's
dance-pop star Miss Kittin
used Ithaka's entire "So Get Up"
acapella poem as the intro
to her successful album
Radio Caroline: Volume 1.

In 2005, Kaos Portugal released
a ten-year anniversary jumbo single
(with yet TEN new remixes !).
And with future remix collections
already in the works, the song
appears to have no plans
of disappearing in the near future.

SO GET UP under varying titles;
(Get Up, Get Up-Go Insane !, etc.)
has been remixed by many
of the world's top producers
and djs including
mega-stars like Fatboy Slim,
Danny Tenagalia, Junior Vasquez
and Stretch & Verne.

Although USL itself
has long divided,
Dj Vibe and Rui da Silva
(both with several other
hit releases under their belts)
are now considered
icons in the dance music
world, while Ithaka
has gone on to a successful
career more associated
with hip hop.

But in 2007,
Dj Vibe and Ithaka
once again collaborated
on an all new track
called "YOU", which
has also forged for itself a
strong international presence.
