O seu autor é o norte-americano Ithaka Darin Pappas ************************* Forget the past, go outside, have a blast are words that, at one point in the 90s, had as much impact around the world as Timothy Leary's famous expression: Turn on, tune in, drop out. Its author is the American Ithaka Darin Pappas. The song was called 'So Get Up' and became, at that time, a true anthem for dance music fans in Portugal, a "tribe" that found itself (and, broadly speaking, continues to find itself) on the fringes of the music made here.

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
