‘Touch Me ft. Cassandra Fox broke the Pop Format

U.K. lyricist/vocalist, Cassandra Fox 

Prior to ‘Touch Me’, Da Silva had already experienced success in the dance-music arena via his partnership with DJ Vibe as Underground Sound of Lisbon. 

The pair’s ‘So Get Up’, a 1994 remix of Ithaka's 1992 iconic vocal-poem song (also entitled "So Get Up").

defined by its bottom-end and oft-sampled series of Ithaka's shouted commands “Get up! Forget the past!” was one of the best. The track became an international club smash that hit particularly hard in NYC, where it became something of an unofficial mid-’90s theme song for Junior Vasquez and Danny Tenaglia.

So Get Up - original

"SO GET UP" by Ithaka

Original 1992 acapella of Ithaka's eternal vocal-poem song "So Get Up". The song, (inspired by Ithaka Darin Pappas' own "escape" from his native Los Angeles to Portugal earlier the same year), was first written and recited for his daily participation on the program Quatro Bairro (Rádio Comerical, Lisbon). It has since become the most remixed vocal acapella in musical history!

Vocals/lyrics: Ithaka Darin Pappas 

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 or 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.

"So Get Up" (In The Next Life remix by Atlantis ITA) in feature film "Sorted" 2000

In 1999, as a member of the short-lived project Atlantis ITA, Dino Lenny and musical partner Michele Guidi released "In The Next Life" a remix of So Get Up, a 1992 vocal-poem song by Californian songwriter Ithaka (or Ithaka Darin Pappas). The track, which utilized Ithaka's original 1992 vocal, was included in the soundtrack of the 2000 British thriller film Sorted directed by Alexander Jovy along with renowned musical acts such as; Leftfield, Morcheeba, Public Enemy, Elvis Presley and Depeche Mode.

The song was played during the closing titles sequence of the film, ending the entire film with Ithaka Darin Pappas' acapella line, "I'll See You In The Next Life". Although other mixes of "So Get Up" had previously charted in the United Kingdom, once in 1995 (at #84 as "So Get Up" remixed by Underground Sound Of Lisbon) and again in 1997 (at #17 as "Get Up! Go Insane" as reworked by Stretch N Vern), however after appearing in the film, Atlantis ITA's In The Next Life modern trance interpretation charted the song a third time in the UK at #96 in May of 2001.

Lyrics written (and vocalized) by: © Ithaka Darin Pappas 1992 "SO GET UP" THE END OF THE EARTH IS UPON US PRETTY SOON ITLL ALL TURN TO DUST SO GET UP FORGET THE PAST GO OUTSIDE 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 YOULL LICK THE FLOOR CUZ, 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 So Get Up was originally written (and recorded) by Ithaka Darin Pappas on December 13th 1992 for Rádio Comercial, a station in Lisbon Portugal. In Feb. of 1993, an electro demo version of "So Get Up" by Ithaka was recorded in Manchester, United Kingdom with producer. 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", "Hurt", "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 As of 2016, with a staggering o ver eleven-hundred documented and released mixes, So Get Up is considered "The Most Remixed Vocal Acapella In Musical History" #SOGETUP #FORGETTHEPAST
