music by: Joe Fossard, Ewan Butler /produced by: Joe Fossard, Ithaka vocal engineer: Sinewave /guitars: Ewan Butler/drums: Sergio Nascimento photograph: Ithaka at Madeira 1995 by: João Valente (Surf Portugal) ________________________________________________________________ Ever since the initial release of the USL version of "So Get Up" in 1994, the parties involved; Kaos Records, Tribal America and USL members (DJ Vibe and Rui da Silva), have presented "So Get Up" as an entirely 100% Portuguese track, apparently for marketing reasons...even though it was actually a preexisting song written and recorded almost a full year earlier by Ithaka Darin Pappas (a Greek-American from California, only temporarily residing in Lisbon) originally made for his own album project, So Get Up & The Lost Acapellas. Two acapella versions of "So Get Up" (a song that changed the entire electronic-music economy of Portugal during the 1990's) were released by USL in the United States by Tribal America, a subsidiary of E.M.I. without ANY authorization from the lyricist/vocalist. Ithaka, an award-winning hip hop vocalist and songwriter, was not paid royalties or even given a featuring credit on his own raw vocal. In 1995, the USL version charted at #83 on the UK pop charts. In 1997, Stretch N Vern's "Get Up! Go Insane!", using the same vocal recording, charted at #17 (UK). Meat Katie also had success in the late 1990's with "Next Life" using the same acapella. In 2013, Cosmic Gate reworked "So Get Up" into a trance version stadium banger, becoming one of the duo's most recognizable songs, (again, using the existing acapella with No vocal credit given)... even manufacturing T-Shirts utilizing Ithaka's lyrics, with no mention of the author. The release of the uncredited 1994 acapella versions had created a snowball effect of illegal "So Get Up" remix versions that continues until the present. Today (in 2020), with more than one-thousand released remixes, it is The Most Remixed Vocal Acapella In Musical History, yet vocally/lyrically, it largely remains anonymous. When credit has been given on the subsequent mixes of "So Get Up", which is rare, it is normally given to Underground Sound Of Lisbon whose version was the first to bring Ithaka's vocal-poem to public attention even if none of USL's music is actually present on the new mix or release. Ithaka's vocal poem "So Get Up" has been musically interpreted by producers of literally every sub-genre of electronic music; Progressive House, Deep House, Techno, Tech House, Trance, Dream Trance, Big Beat, Drum n Bass, Trip Hop, Downtempo, Hardcore, Gabber etc etc etc... and has appeared by the alternative titles of; "See You In The Next Life", "Forget The Past", "The End Of The Earth", "Hardventure", "Headcharge", "Belther", "Last Resurrection, "PPF (Past, Present, Future)", "Intensity", "Soultech!", "Phat Prick", "Trance Line", "Have A Blast!" etc, etc, etc. "So Get Up" and it's derivatives have sold (unofficially) 30,000,000+ copies since 1993.
