"SO GET UP" (the most remixed vocal in musical history)

Information regarding the iconic 1992 vocal acapella song by Greek-American songwriter and interdisciplinary artist Ithaka Darin Pappas (Ithaka). As of 2025, this example of lyrical mastery has been remixed over 800 times. In 1994, a hit remix was made by an acid house project from Underground Sound of Lisbon (DJ Vibe, Rui da Silva) and presented as a 100% Portuguese project with absolutely no mention of its creator Ithaka...now considered one of the biggest musical coverups since Milli Vanilli.

Cosmic Gate "So Get Up" (featuring Ithaka) appears in DJ MAG

“Indeed, the amount being paid to certain DJs is really high compared to recent years, but at the end of the day, the market is regulating the price.”

Have DJs' fees got out of hand?:

“We think it has. As dance lovers we all should stay positive about it. After all, it’s better than only hip-hop or rock on the radio, right?”

Has dance music become the new pop?:

“Little mice, so we can spy on what the results of this year's Top 100 poll will be!”

If you could be any animal, what would you be?:

“Should DJs use a microphone? Should they dance? Should they use a laptop? In the end it’s up to the DJ to decide what’s right, and the audience decides by showing up to the gigs.”

Should DJs do "heart hands":

“We definitely think we have a responsibility to show EDM and drugs do not necessarily belong together. On the other hand, people are responsible for their own life and choices.”

Do DJs have a duty to speak out about drugs?:

“We’d really like our existing rider served up by Miley Cyrus and Kim Kardashian.”

Following extensive international tours on the back of the swathe of hits that came from their late 2011 'Wake Your Mind' album, German trance veterans Cosmic Gate returned this year with new singles 'Storm Chaser', 'Crushed' and 'So Get Up' written and vocalized by California artist, Ithaka (Ithaka Darin Pappas). Nic Chagall and Bossi told DJ Mag it’s a matter of balancing their signature trance sound with the desire to move forward.
“It’s different styles all over again, but always with our signature that people can recognize. We don’t want to be predictable, we’d get bored doing the same things in a studio over and over.”
'So Get Up' was the first single on their new Wake Your Mind label, and it caps off what’s otherwise been a massive year of touring that’s seen them hosting festival stages in Australia, joining A State of Trance in Ibiza as residents, as well as staging several “Wake Your Mind in Concert” events, featuring guest vocalists to compliment the Cosmic Gate experience.
While the pair are supportive of the trance scene’s recent push towards old-school sounds, they maintain it won’t have a massive impact on their next album, that they’re currently working on. “We’ve been there already, and it wouldn’t feel right for us to go back to where it all started. We prefer to develop our sound by combining different styles to create something new."

全智賢 전지현 - "So Get Up", The Song That Immortalized JUN JI HYUN

Ithaka's "So Get Up", The Song That Made JUN JI HYUN (全智賢 전지현) A Star

In 1999, after starring in her first feature film at the age of eighteen, (the little-watched White Valentine), Korean actress Jun Ji-Hyun was still largely unknown.

It was not until later that year when she starred in a hugely popular commercial for Samsung My Jet Printers featuring a remix of Californian songwriter Ithaka Darin Pappas' iconic 1993 vocal-poem song, So Get Up, that, according to most media sources, she became a a public sensation.

The version of So Get Up featured in the campaign (called "Get Up! Go Insane") was made by UK producers Stretch & Vern, who brought Ithaka to the UK to re-record his 1993 classic. The final result, restructured the vocal hook differently from the original, but the overall message was the same, So Get Up...and live life to the fullest ! This anthem of defiance and celebration was exuberantly communicated by Jun Ji-Hyun's dancing dance and attitude in the clip.

The commercial sky-rocketed her from being a relatively unknown actress to being a cultural youth icon for all of South Korea and beyond (and eventually one of Korea's biggest film and television stars).

Ji-Kyun has since gone on to star in Sassy Girl (when of the biggest films in Korean history), You Who Came from the Stars, and The Legend of the Blue Sea.
She has won several national and international awards for her acting ability.

*Note: Ithaka rerecorded his iconic 1993, So Get Up specifically for Stretch & Vern's mix (in the UK, 1996). This is one of the only authorized versions of So Get Up in 25 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf-4C7VYzEw

So Get Up - Original Unedited Lyrics by: Ithaka Darin Pappas

"So Get Up" written and vocalized by Ithaka - 1993

Album: So Get Up & The Lost Acapellas

Ithaka's - So Get Up & The Lost Acapellas (New Album)

Ithaka : So Get Up & The Lost Acapellas

Collection of vocal poems recorded in Europe in 1993, which had been completely lost until being rediscovered in early 2017 (on a damaged cassette tape in a Los Angeles garage). These are the companion works for the iconic, So Get Up.

https://www.cdbaby.com/cd/ithaka2

Californian-born writer and vocalist Ithaka (aka Ithaka Darin Pappas) relocated from his native Los Angeles in 1992 to Europe where the artist entered of six year period of hyper-creativity. There he wrote, vocalized, created sculptures and photographed among other activities.

In 1993 he wrote a collection of poems for a daily audio segment he hosted on a program called Quatro Bairro on Rádio Commercial, Lisbon. After reciting some these poems live on Rádio Comerical in 1993, he later recorded them as a collection of demos with a producer friend in the UK.

The next year he recorded one of these poems, So Get Up, with the progressive-house project Underground Sound Of Lisbon who achieved massive international success with the track via distribution by Tribal/I.R.S. Records in New York.

Between a series of moves and career developments, the original 1993 vocal poem demos recorded in England were lost. Neither studio technician or artist could find the original, or copies.

So Get Up went on to become an international EDM anthem remixed by greats such as; Miss Kittin, Fatboy Slim. Mert Yücel, Dave Seaman etc.

Later in 2013, the song saw yet another chapter of fame when top DJ's both Hardwell and Armina Van Buuren endorsed a new version of the So Get Up rleased by German trance music stars Cosmic Gate using Ithaka's original lyrical/ vocal acapella)

Ithaka himself went on to record a series of critically acclaimed hip hop albums.

Here together on this disc are two new vocal recordings of Ithaka's iconic poems "So Get Up" and "We Are The Players" (recorded in Mexico - 2017) along with the complete collection of vocal-poem acapella demos made in 1993, some with their original proposed instrumental sketches. Please note: These are not intended to be finished songs, but instead are included to demonstrate Ithaka's early musical direction prior to both Underground Sound Of Lisbon's version of So Get Up (1994) and his own solo album, Flowers And The Color Of Paint (1995).

So Get Up, written and vocalized by Ithaka, is a 1993 spoken-word Electronic dance music vocal-poem more frequently credited to the Portuguese house music production duo Underground Sound of Lisbon and the German Trance music duo, Cosmic Gate.
LYRICS: The end of the earth is upon us. Pretty soon it’ll all turn to dust. So get up. Forget the past. Go outside and have a blast. Go a thousand miles in a jet airplane. Go out of your mind go insane To a place you never been before. Eat ice cream our you’ll lick the floor. 'Cause, the end of the earth is upon us. Pretty soon it’ll all turn to dust. Goodbye my friends. Goodbye world. I’ll see you in the next life.
Although Ithaka's poem vocal was written and first recorded in 1993 for a program called "Bairro Quatro" on Rádio Comercial in Lisbon, the initial musical element backing the poem was created in 1994 by DJ Vibe & Doctor J aka Underground Sound Of Lisbon (or USL) ^[1] who invited Ithaka (at that time using an alias name, Korvowrong) to rerecord the poem as a guest vocalist on their first release. Ithaka Darin Pappas lived and recorded in Lisbon, Portugal from 1992-1998.
USL's original 12" Progressive house mix of So Get Up was 9 minutes and 22 secs long, and was released as the B-side of the "Chapter One E.P". In Portugal this was released by Kaos Records, and worldwide by Tribal UK and Twisted Records (U.S.). It became a major Portuguese dance music "national anthem" and influenced a large populace of Portuguese youth to get interested in house music, famous for Ithaka's shouting "So Get Up, forget the past, the end of the world is upon us! Pretty soon it will all turn to dust!"
In 1994, the UK edition of the single (now as A side), had several remixes by Danny Tenaglia and Junior Vasquez as well as an original mix and a cappella version. This first international edition sold approximately 50,000 copies.
Thru the last two decades, So Get Up under varying titles such as; "Get Up", "Get Up, Go Insane!", "The End Of The Earth", "Hardventure", Headcharge, "Forget The Past", etc has been remixed, sampled and released in a multitude of EDM styles on the records of; Fatboy Slim, Stretch & Verne, Oxia, Peter Bailey, Orion's Voice, JJ Mullor, Dani Sbert, Lexington Avenue, Dylan, Derek Marin, Public Domain, K-Traxx, Technoboy, Bob Ray & Van Dyuk, Ben Gold, Pelari, and many others.
In 2003, Miss Kittin used the entire "So Get Up" poem as part of the intro on her album Radio Caroline Vol.1.
In 2005, Kaos Records released a 10th Anniversary Edition of the single. The CD release included 8 different tracks:
Although some legal and registered re-mixes have been made of So Get Up, because an acappella was included in the first U.S. and U.K. releases on Tribal Records, rouge musical versions using the vocal have snowballed out of control. Hundreds of House, Trance, Techno, Rock, Dub-step and Grabber producers have simply placed the So Get Up vocal on their own instrumentals and called them their own (sometimes with subtle title changes but often just as "So Get Up"). To date there are now at least 1029 released remixes using the Ithaka Darin Pappas' original vocal recording - and as of late 2016, So Get Up now hold the distinction of being the most remixed vocal a cappella in musical history (Guinness World Record Holder 2016 ^[2]).
So Get Up by it's individual producers and djs has been played/performed at large scale dance parties around the global such as the Electric Daisy Carnival in New York (2016) as interpreted by Cosmic Gate.^[3]

The "So Get Up" controversy

In 1993, Ithaka had originally written and recited the poem called So Get Up (The End Of The Earth Is Upon Us) for his weekly segment of a radio program called Quatro Bairro on Antena One in Lisbon, Portugal. The next year he rerecorded it as a guest performer to be the primary vocal of a B-Side single for the Portuguese dance music group called Underground Sound Of Lisbon. The song became an instant national hit and was later released internationally as a ten-mix, double vinyl set on New York's Tribal Records (a subsidiary of I.R.S. Records/E.M.I. Records). The song climbed to 8th place on the Billboard's Independent Dance Music Charts for the U.K. – and number 52nd in the United States. Since 1995, the song has been remixed over a thousand times including versions by such greats as Fat Boy Slim, Junior Vasquez, Danny Tenaglia, Cosmic Gate and has appeared on over fifty compilations with combined sales in the millions. As the original music has been stripped away by each succeeding producer, the only singularly unifying element of all 1000+ mixes is Ithaka's poem and his vocals. Ironically, the song which was considered the first modern "Portuguese" musical export was released without even a "featuring Ithaka" credit even though Ithaka, a Californian who was only temporarily residing in Lisbon, was the primary publishing rights owner of the track and never a member of the Underground Sound Of Lisbon project. Reportedly no actual record royalties were ever paid to Ithaka ^[4].
In 2013, German Trance superstars, Cosmic Gate, also excluded Ithaka's vocal/lyrical credit even though they licensed the entire So Get Up a cappella. Without a doubt, Cosmic Gate's version has become the biggest commercial success of So Get Up to date. It was featured on Armin Van Buuren's compilation A State Of Trance 2013, on Cosmic's Gate album Start to Feel(2014)^[5], with additional mixes by Pelarli, Alex di Stefano and Ben Gold. It has been a festival favorite for the group since it's release, being performed at Amsterdam Dance Event, Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra Music Festival and on Cosmic Gate's own world tour.
