SO GET UP & GO INSANE ! The Hit Song That Immortalized JUN JI HYUN 全智賢 전지현 (By Ithaka Darin Pappas)

Ithaka's "So Get Up", The Song That Made JUN JI HYUN (全智賢 전지현) A Star

In 1999, after starring in her first feature film at the age of eighteen, (the little-watched White Valentine), Korean actress Jun Ji-Hyun was still largely unknown.

It was not until later that year when she starred in a hugely popular commercial for Samsung My Jet Printers featuring a remix of Californian songwriter Ithaka Darin Pappas' iconic 1993 vocal-poem song, So Get Up, that, according to most media sources, she became a a public sensation.

The version of So Get Up featured in the campaign (called "Get Up! Go Insane") was made by UK producers Stretch & Vern, who brought Ithaka to the UK to re-record his 1993 classic. The final result, restructured the vocal hook differently from the original, but the overall message was the same, So Get Up...and live life to the fullest ! This anthem of defiance and celebration was exuberantly communicated by Jun Ji-Hyun's dancing dance and attitude in the clip.

The commercial sky-rocketed her from being a relatively unknown actress to being a cultural youth icon for all of South Korea and beyond (and eventually one of Korea's biggest film and television stars).

Ji-Kyun has since gone on to star in Sassy Girl (when of the biggest films in Korean history), You Who Came from the Stars, and The Legend of the Blue Sea.
She has won several national and international awards for her acting ability.

*Note: Ithaka rerecorded his iconic 1993, So Get Up specifically for Stretch & Vern's mix (in the UK, 1996). This is one of the only authorized versions of So Get Up in 25 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf-4C7VYzEw

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).

"So Get Up" - Reintroduced 20 Years Later by Armin Van Buuren

                        "So Get Up" Armin Van Buuren featuring Ithaka 


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 S. 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 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.

So Get Up, written and vocalized by Ithaka, is a 1993 spoken-word Electronic dance music vocal-poem more frequently credited to the Portuguese house music production duo Underground Sound of Lisbon and the German Trance music duo, Cosmic Gate.
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.

Most Remixed Vocal In History - Guinness World Record - Lyricist: Ithaka Darin Pappas

"So Get Up" Guinness World Record Holder For Most Remixed A Capella (Writer: Ithaka Darin Pappas)

 

In 2016, with at least 1029 documented remixes to its credit

 "So Get Up" a vocal spoken-word poem written and recorded by 

Californian artist and songwriter Ithaka (Ithaka Darin Pappas)

was the Guinness World Record holder for

"Most Musical Remixes Created From Single Acapella"

Ithaka initially penned "So Get Up",

(first titled, The End Of The Earth Is Upon Us)

in mid-1993 for a daily segment of a program he regularly hosted 

on Rádio Comerical Lisbon called "Bairro Quatro".

It was recited the first time live on-air 

just an hour or two after it was written.

In 1994, also in Portugal, he re-recorded it with

a house music duo called Underground Sound Of Lisbon.

It was distributed nationally and later on Tribal Records (NY) 

with an a capella version, incredulously without a vocal credit.

It is this a capella that has been remixed, robbed, sampled, remade 

and covered to a degree unseen in the history of modern music.

In 2016, at last count there were 1029 released remixes 

of  the vocal "So Get Up" (often under different titles such as;

  The End Of The Earth, Get Up Go Insane, Forget The Past, etc). 

Guinness World Record now recognizes the SO Get Up vocal poem

 as holding the title for "Most Musical Remixes Created From Single A Capella" 

bypassing #2, Turkish pop-vocalist Evrim Tuzun, by more than 800 mixes.

Because the first release of So Get Up was not vocally credited, 

this seemed to green-light all other remix users 

of the acapella to not credit it as well (most producers 

thought the vocal and lyrics were  public domain, perhaps from an old film).

Although some mixes were legally licensed, 

many EDM artists simply made their own electronic music tracks

and place Ithaka's vocals and lyrics on top of it,

and called it entirely their own without requesting permission 

or paying royalties.

Among the more known mixes of "So Get Up" there are versions by such all-star groups/producers as; Cosmic Gate (Germany), Danny Tenaglia (USA), Junior Vazquez (USA), DJ Vibe (Portugal), Mert Yücel (Turkey), Eric Kupper (USA), Fatboy Slim (UK) and Miss Kittin (France). 

An incomplete list of DJ/producers who have remixed, reworked, covered or sampled the vocal poem "So Get Up" by Ithaka Darin Pappas since its first recording in 1993 include: Cosmic Gate (Germany), Danny Tenaglia (USA), Junior Vazquez (USA), DJ Vibe (Portugal), Mert Yücel (Turkey), Eric Kupper (USA), Fatboy Slim (UK) and Miss Kittin (France), Pelarli, Alex Di Stefano, Public Domain (Holland), Pagano (Italy), Mirabeau (UK), Damaged People (UK), Mowree (Italy), Stretch & Verne (UK), Sarasite, Orion's Voice, Bob Ray & Van Dyuk, Igor Carmo, JJ Mullor, Dani Sber, Swing Kings, Atlantis IT, Ben Gold, Nixu Zsun (France), Ricardo Diaz, Peter Bailey (USA), DJ Kingsize, FuturePlays (Mexico), Derek Marin,  Oxia (France), Domino, DJ Diego Mendonça, Mauro Ferno, Maik Ibane, Ce Ce Lee (Italy), Dj Kryst-Off Aka Zornéus (France), FRANKYEFFE (Italy), Branko & Club Atlas (members of Buraka Som Sistema), Alex Page (Portugal), Nell Silva (Portugal), Alex Farolfi, Fargetta, GianLuca Mens, The Ventura 87, Dimas Carbajo, Christo Z (Greece), Ronni King,Terry Lee Brown JR., DJ Theo V (Greece), Djz Rom (Cambodia), DJ Beg, Lexicon Avenue, DJ Screw (Thailand) etc etc.
