"So Get Up" List of versions and remixes of the song "So Get Up" by Ithaka (Ithaka Darin Pappas)
Saturday, July 4, 2020
Who does the song "So Get Up"?
The vocal-poem song “So Get Up” is by Ithaka (Ithaka Darin Pappas).
According to Wikipedia:
Ithaka Darin Pappas (a Californian hip hop artist, poet, photographer and sculptor of Greek ancestry) originally wrote and recorded “So Get Up” on December 13th 1992 for a segment of a radio program called Quatro Bairro, that he regularly appeared on as a guest host. The program was aired by the station Rádio Comercial in Lisbon, Portugal (where Ithaka lived between 1992–1998).
In February of 1993, Ithaka recorded an electro-style version of So Get Up and an entire album demo with a student sound engineer in Manchester, England which in addition to So Get Up, included several of his other poems. The project was called So Get Up & The Lost Acapellas, but was not immediately released by a label.
In late 1993, a Portuguese electronic music group called Underground Sound Of Lisbon invited Ithaka to record the So Get Up lyric, yet a third time, for the B-Side of a white label 12″ vinyl demo they were making as an initial offering for their upstart label called Kaos (Portugal). It became an actual manufactured release and achieved distribution outside of Portugal. This version enjoyed wide international success (#83 on the U.K. pop charts in 1994). But apparently, for marketing reasons, So Get Up was presented as a 100% Portuguese creation - even though the lyricist and vocalist was a Californian, briefly living in Portugal, and the song was written and recorded in English.
Ithaka Darin Pappas was largely not credited with his contribution on the Underground Sound of Lisbon version of the song, which perhaps may be the reason you are asking, WHO does “So Get Up?”.
Furthermore, both Underground Sound Of Lisbon’s label, (Kaos Records, Portugal) and their international distributor Tribal USA (EMI), headed by Rob Di Stefano, released several acapellas of Ithaka’s voice and lyrics without a visible credit, causing a snowball of anonymous bootleg versions and remixes.
In 1997, Stretch n Vern released “Get Up! Go Insane!”, principally using the hook lines of Ithaka’s “So Get Up”, becoming a #17 pop hit in the United Kingdom. “Get Up! Go Insane!”, was also used in a highly-visible Samsung printer commercial in Korea starring movie actress Jun Ji-Hyun. According to all of her biographic accounts, the commercial turned her into a “popular sensation”. The dancing around to “Get Up! Go Insane!” and the attitude expressed in the commercial’s footage made her into an icon for Koreans in their late teens and early twenties.
In 2013, German trance super stars Cosmic Gate, licensed Ithaka’s entire So Get Up vocal for their track coincidentally entitled “So Get Up” (again without a featured lyric/vocal credit to Ithaka). So Get Up became known as one of their best tracks, a ‘stadium banger’ as it was called by DJ MAG. They even manufactured a line of shirts with Ithaka’s lyrics printed on them, with no mention of the author.
By 2020, there have possibly been more than one-thousand remixes of Ithaka’s 1993 vocal acapella recording of So Get Up, becoming one of the most remixed acapellas in musical history. It appears under many alternative titles such as "Get Up", "Insane", "Get Up, Go Insane!", "Next Life", "See You In The Next Life" "The End Of The Earth", "Hardventure", "Headcharge", "Belther", "Last Resurrection", "PPF (Past Present Future)", "Intensity", "Forget The Past", "Trance Line", "Viginti Etduo", "Have A Blast", “Turn To Dust”, "Alien Life Forms, Goodbye My Friends", "Jet Airplane", "Speed O.J.", “Zombie”, etc..
“SO GET UP” REMIX ARTISTS INCLUDE: Armin Van Buuren, Fatboy Slim, Danny Tenaglia, Junior Vasquez, Dj Vibe, 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, Miss Kittin, Dave Seaman, Dade (ITA), Carlos Walker, Alien Project, Second Nature, Pomella, John Neiland, Br1an, DJ Healer, Traumprinz, Joseph LP, Rab-Beat , Pirro, Matheu, Neanderthal Phonogram, Omar Lopez, Liquid Viking, MotivBreaks, Chaka & Marty, Jay Dahbi, Hu Bee, Frankyeffe, Township Rebellion, Rui Flip, Dani Villa, Rodri Vegas, Dr. Funk, ZRG, Swing Kings, Acti, Antolini, DANTEE, Alternative Journey, Nell Silva, Geometric Dark, Pepo, Pacho, Club Atlas, Branko, Buraka Som Sistema, Alex Di Stefano, TNT, Zatox, Marc Hartman, Meat Katie, DJ Dũng Tí , Future Plays, Manu Kenton, Dejay D, Ozy & Ash, Derk Marin, Marcel, Doppeldosen, Maik Ibane, Cubik, Checo Zak, Fuelo Ruedo, Paradigm X, Samir Kuliev, Lee Burridge, Razat, Alex Page, DJ Kryst-Off, Breaker, Micromakine, Gu'Brian, Trolley Snatcha, Mr. Argenis, Let's Try, Audio Noir, Peace Maker, Ninja, Cab Thomas, Loose Effects, JJ Mullor, Dani Sbert, Atmozfears, Igor Carmo, Pelari, Ben Gold, Koozah, Slow Panpot, Furio Levant, Bob Ray, Van Dyuk, Morgana DJ, Damien Blaze, Audio Noir, Hardwell, Agustin Servente, Matias Chavez, HeatBeat, Danny Garlick, Hakan Sarugil, Cassien Jean, Marco Calanni, Bageera, Black Force, Horizon, DJ Pibert, Outworld, Plusculaar, Mike Steventon & Tone, Bart Skils, Peace Maker, Philippe Rochard, Andrea Doria & Dino Lenny, 2 DJs In A Room, Steve Hill & Technikal, Seikos, Dantime, Maziano, Lochness DJ Team, DJ Zorneus, Phunk Investigation, Sharp & Smooth, Mowree, Lexicon Avenue, Architect, Committee, Low End Specialists, Dan Robbins, King-Size, Eric Kupper, Mert Yucel, Dylan, K-Traxx, High Voltage, K-Traxx, PCP, Ce Ce Lee, Atlantis ITA, Pathfinder, Jason "Jinx" Zambito, Tecmania Rebel, Patrick van der Hart, Public Domain, Sarasite, etc.
An alternative answer to the question would be that All the above artists recorded “So Get Up”, but the lyrics and the vocals (the identifying elements) on All the versions of So Get Up are by Ithaka Darin Pappas. And if we are not talking about the identifying marker of a track as the song itself, what exactly do we mean by a ‘song’ anyway when we are talking about electronic music?…beats wandering aimlessly through the universe?
Because of the fluidity of our medium (facility to remix, etc) at some point it is necessary to say, THIS is the song.

Nic Chagall on "So Get Up" [Magnetic Magazine]
"What we would like to get across through 'Start To Feel' is that
electronic music doesn't need to always start and stop at the drop. It
doesn't have to be all about that 60 seconds. We love that type of
music. If we didn't we wouldn't have made tracks like 'So Get Up' and a
dozen others. But those are start points to Cosmic Gate's music. Not end
ones." -

Cosmic Gate's - "So Get Up" - The Poem & The Poet
In early, 2017, Los Angeles-based independent music label, Sweatlodge Records will release the seventh album by the Californian songwriter, Ithaka, entitled, So Get Up & The Lost Acapellas. The record will include thirteen of Ithaka's vocalized poems (without music), many of which were written during 1992 and 1993, two of the six years the artist lived in Lisbon. Also, as a bonus track, the original 1993 demo-version of So Get Up will appear.
There in Portugal, Ithaka was regularly invited to recite his texts and rhymes for the daily program, Quatro Bairro on the national station, Rádio Comerical. Ten of the poems offered on the Lost Acapellas release were written specifically for the radio program and later (in mid-1993) were rerecorded as voice-over and musical demos on a visit to England. These recordings were lost for 23 years until recently being discovered in a Los Angeles storage unit on a antiquated cassette tape.
Among these early acapella poems is So Get Up, most recently re-popularized by Armin Van Buuren and Cosmic Gate, which today (twenty-four years and more than a thousand releases and adaptions later) is considered The Most Remixed Vocal Acapella In Musical History (by Guinness World Records - 2016, 2017).
So Get Up was originally written and recorded by Ithaka for Quatro Bairro (Rádio Comerical), unfortunately this very first recording has never been recovered. He did however, as mentioned, record it a second time in the U.K - to present to radio producers and possibly record companies.
There working at Rádio Comerical, Ithaka met DJ Vibe (Portugal's most prominent DJ), who played an hour of progressive house music immediately following Ithaka's segments. There Vibe usually heard the end of Ithaka's vocal slots and was intrigued by the poems. Some months later, he invited him to participate as a guest vocalist on the first release by Underground Sound Of Lisbon (an EDM duo consisting of Vibe and Rui Da Silva) for Kaos Records. They recorded Ithaka's vocal in the early hours of a rainy winter night at the garage studio, 1 Só Céu, owned by the Portuguese rock band called, Os Delfins.
Ithaka was told by the label that they would make 200 white-labels vinyls for distribution within Portugal only. They paid him $70 dollars for his participation, with a verbal promise to discuss any future distributions and manufacturing that would possibly follow. And just weeks later, from just that single white-label pressing, the song exploded into an almost instantaneous national blockbuster.
Although open-minded musically, Ithaka was more associated with hip hop and street art than dance music and only infrequently appeared at the clubs his apocalyptic poem had literally become an anthem for an entire generation of club goers, inspiring even people who never liked dance music to get involved.
Ironically, Underground Sound Of Lisbon themselves never made a point of explaining who the mystery prophet was and nobody seemed to ask, the press included - even though Ithaka owned 50% of the publishing and was indeed the actual performer.
"I remember specifically on a couple of occasions trying to get into Lisbon-area night clubs, which is always a chore, and there in line, two different times, I could hear So Get Up playing on the dance floor...The first was at Frágil in Bairro Alto - and I said, hey man, that's me...let me in. And the doorman said, if that was you...I would know who you are AND I DON'T! - And the other time..was at Alcatara, when I again declared that was my voice muffled behind the thick curtains out the dance floor..and that doorman said, Yes, my friend, and Elvis is still alive too!
In late 1994, Ithaka left Portugal for four months back to Los Angeles for an art exhibit - and during that short amount of time, Kaos Records had licensed So Get Up, without consulting him, to several international parties most notably Tribal Records (USA) a sub-subsidiary of Stuart Copeland's IRS Records (EMI).
Although Rob Di Stefano, the managing director of Tribal Records had met Ithaka on a previous trip to Portugal, and obviously understood he was from California and only temporarily residing in Portugal, he realized the marketing potential of an exotic 100% Portuguese house music product arriving in the U.S. for the first time and made no attempt to publicize the vocalist's true origins. No featuring Ithaka credit was ever included on any of the releases, even though he is both the author and the vocalist. Yes, this is dance music, but no matter how good or bad the production is, no one can deny that the vocal-poem and adjoining hooks are the primal guts of the entire So Get Up experience. How else could it possibly appeal to such a large musucal spectrum of DJ and producers?
The first 1994 release of So Get Up on Tribal was a double-vinyl set with ten-mixes, including several versions by New York superstars Junior Vasquez and Danny Tenaglia. The early international popularity of So Get Up was undoubtfully manifested by these interpretations by Vasquez and Tenaglia. Two New York all-stars creating music around the words of a California hip hop wordsmith. To call So Get Up, even at that point, a 100% Portuguese release, was inaccurate at best. The first release by Tribal, which sold upwards of 50,000 copies, also included an uncredited acapella of Ithaka's raw poem - which paved way for a vast multitude of remixes and samplings over a huge cross-section of electronic musical genres.
With the exception of Stretch & Verne's legally licensed rerecord "Get Up, Go Insane!" in 1997 and (subsequently Fatboy Slim's remix of that), every other international release of So Get Up has essentially been unauthorized. It is fair to say that every (of the more than a thousand mixes released) house, trance, techno, electro, drum & bass, big beat, dub step, and art rock versions - under their varying titles of "So Get Up", "Get Up", "Forget The Past", "the End Of The Earth", "Have A Blast", "Headcharge", "Hardaventure" have been issued illegally. No record royalties or performance royalties have even been paid to the vocalist/lyricist although all have been made using Ithaka's 1994 recording in Cascais, Portugal. By the most recent estimates of Ithaka's publisher attempting to recoup his writing shares, So Get Up has been either sold or downloaded more than 30,000,000 times and approximately 250,000,000 have at least heard the poem. Whether payment ever falls into the right hands, time will only tell.
Ithaka himself has had an unusual career (and life) to say the least. He came to recording not thru music itself, but via music photography, visual arts....and reading books. For nearly three years, among his many other sporadic occupations, Ithaka was the principal photographer for Priority Records gangster rap icons, NWA and Eazy E , but that's a story for another day.
In 1992, attempting to expand his boundries outside of the Los Angeles area, the half-Greek, Ithaka Darin Pappas, set off soul-searching. He first relocated to Athens, Greece for six months and then spent a year in Tokyo, finally landing in Lisbon where he spent more than six years.
During this six-year period in Portugal, Ithaka was hyper-productive. He recorded So Get Up (and many other poems), made two award-winning hip hop albums, published translated poems and short stories in Portuguese magazines - and also had several large scale sculpture exhibits. He also photographically documented much the early and mid-nineties Portuguese music scene, shooting record covers for rock, hip hop and EDM projects.

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.

"SO GET UP"
THE END OF THE EARTH IS UPON US
PRETTY SOON IT’LL 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 OR YOU’LL 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.......
