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).

Armin Van Buuren featuring Ithaka (A State Of Trance)
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:

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.
