Lauren Martin and DJ Vibe discuss “So Get Up” (Red Bull Music Academy lecture series)
In September of 2019, world-renowned electronic music journalist and editor Lauren Martin interviewed DJ Vibe (António Pereira), the iconic Portuguese DJ, for the Red Bull Music Academy lecture series. During the course of the one-hour long conversation the two spoke five full minutes specifically about the song “So Get Up” which undoubtedly transformed DJ Vibe’s personal career and in fact the entire electronic music economy of Portugal in the 1990’s.
DJ Vibe in 1994
When asked about the recording and the distribution of the song “So Get Up” and how it ‘changed everything’, Vibe spoke at length about now-deceased Kaos Records label owner/promotor António Cunha, co-member of Underground Sound of Lisbon, Rui da Silva and Rob Di Stefano manager of Tribal U.S.A. records which distributed the initial international release of “So Get Up” selling 80,000 copies).
He also speaks of DJ Junior Vasquez who had the recorded exclusively for a full year at the NY’s Sound Factory and created a buzz around the recording, but Dj Vibe fails to even mention the lyricist/vocalist, Greek-Californian Ithaka (Ithaka Darin Pappas), whose rerecording of his 1992 English-language vocal poem, So Get Up, The End Of The Earth Is Upon Us for Underground Sound Of Lisbon, certainly aided in the globalization of Underground Sound of Lisbon, Kaos Records, DJ Vibe, Rui da Silva and Portuguese electronic music in general.
Ithaka had originally written and recorded “So Get Up” on December 13th 1992 for Rádio Comercial – Lisbon, then in Februrary of 1993 recorded an electro version in Manchester for demo of his album project, So Get Up & The Lost Acapellas which was not immediately released.
Underground Sound of lisbon’s “So Get Up” 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 new version of his own song.
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..

Ithaka Darin Pappas - vocalist/lyricist of all versions of the song, "So Get Up"
回答：
ボーカル詩の曲「So Get Up」は、Isaka（Ithaka Darin Pappas）によって、別名Korvorowngで（Korvowrongと誤って綴られることもあった）
ウィキペディアによると：
Ithaka Darin Pappas（カリフォルニアのヒップホップアーティスト、詩人、写真家、ギリシャの祖先の彫刻家）は、1992年12月13日にQuatro Bairroと呼ばれるラジオ番組の一部として「So Get Up」を書いて録音しました。ゲストホスト。この番組は、ポルトガルのリスボンにあるラディオコマーシャル（Ithakaが1992年から1998年まで住んでいた）の放送局で放映されました。
1993年2月、イサカはSo Get Upのエレクトロスタイルバージョンと、So Get Upに加えて他のいくつかの詩を含むイギリスのマンチェスターの学生サウンドエンジニアによるアルバムデモ全体を録音しました。このプロジェクトはSo Get Up＆The Lost Acapellasと呼ばれていましたが、レーベルからすぐにリリースされたわけではありません。
1993年後半に、Underground Sound Of Lisbonと呼ばれるポルトガルのエレクトロニックミュージックグループがIthakaにSo Get Up歌詞の録音を依頼しましたが、彼らが最初に提供したのは、ホワイトレーベルの12インチビニールデモのB面です。 Kaos（ポルトガル）と呼ばれる彼らの新興レーベル。これは実際に製造されたリリースになり、ポルトガル国外で配布されました。このバージョンは国際的に大きな成功を収めました（1994年の英国のポップチャートで83位）。しかし、明らかに、マーケティング上の理由から、So Get Upは100％ポルトガル語の作品として発表されました。ただし、作詞家とボーカリストはカリフォルニア人であり、一時的にポルトガルに住んでいて、曲は英語で書かれ、録音されていました。
Ithaka Darin Pappasは、リスボンのUnderground Sound of Lisbonバージョンでの彼の貢献はほとんど認められませんでした。おそらくそれが、WHOが「So Get Up？」と尋ねている理由かもしれません。
さらに、Underground Sound Of Lisbonのレーベル（Kaos Records、ポルトガル）と、Rob Di Stefanoが率いる国際ディストリビューターTribal USA（EMI）は、目に見えるクレジットのないIthakaの声と歌詞のアカペラをいくつかリリースし、匿名のブートレッグの雪玉を引き起こしました。バージョンとリミックス。
1997年、Stretch n Vernは「Get Up！ Go Insane！」は、主にIthakaの「So Get Up」のフックラインを使用して、イギリスで＃17のポップヒットになりました。 "起きる！ Go Insane！」は、映画女優のジュン・ジヒョン主演の韓国で目立つサムスンのプリンター広告にも使用されました。彼女の経歴のすべてによると、コマーシャルは彼女を「人気のある感覚」に変えました。 「Get Up！気が狂う！"コマーシャルの映像で表現された態度は、彼女を10代後半と20代前半の韓国人の象徴にした。
2013年、ドイツのトランスのスーパースターであるCosmic Gateは、IthakaのSo Get Upボーカル全体を偶然「So Get Up」というタイトルでライセンスしました（これもまた、Ithakaへの歌詞/ボーカルクレジットの特集はありません）。そのため、Get Upは彼らの最高のトラックの1つであるDJ MAGから呼ばれた「スタジアムバンガー」として知られるようになりました。彼らはイタカの歌詞がプリントされたシャツのラインを製造しましたが、作者については言及していませんでした。
2020年までに、Ithakaの1993年のSo Get Upのボーカルアカペラ録音の1000以上のリミックスがあり、音楽史上最もリミックスされたアカペラの1つになっています。 「Get Up」、「Insane」、「Get Up、Go Insane！」、「Next Life」、「See You In the Next Life」、「The End Of The Earth」、「Hardventure」など、多くの代替タイトルの下に表示されます、「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 OJ」、「Zombie」など。
“Indeed,
the amount being paid to certain DJs is really high compared to recent
years, but at the end of the day, the market is regulating the price.”
Have DJs' fees got out of hand?:
“We
think it has. As dance lovers we all should stay positive about it.
After all, it’s better than only hip-hop or rock on the radio, right?”
Has dance music become the new pop?:
“Little mice, so we can spy on what the results of this year's Top 100 poll will be!”
If you could be any animal, what would you be?:
“Should
DJs use a microphone? Should they dance? Should they use a laptop? In
the end it’s up to the DJ to decide what’s right, and the audience
decides by showing up to the gigs.”
Should DJs do "heart hands":
“We
definitely think we have a responsibility to show EDM and drugs do not
necessarily belong together. On the other hand, people are responsible
for their own life and choices.”
Do DJs have a duty to speak out about drugs?:
“We’d really like our existing rider served up by Miley Cyrus and Kim Kardashian.”
Following
extensive international tours on the back of the swathe of hits that
came from their late 2011 'Wake Your Mind' album, German trance veterans
Cosmic Gate returned this year with new singles 'Storm Chaser',
'Crushed' and 'So Get Up' written and vocalized by California artist,
Ithaka (Ithaka Darin Pappas). Nic Chagall and Bossi told DJ Mag it’s a
matter of balancing their signature trance sound with the desire to move
forward.
“It’s different styles all over again, but always with our signature
that people can recognize. We don’t want to be predictable, we’d get
bored doing the same things in a studio over and over.”
'So Get Up' was the first single on their new Wake Your Mind label,
and it caps off what’s otherwise been a massive year of touring that’s
seen them hosting festival stages in Australia, joining A State of
Trance in Ibiza as residents, as well as staging several “Wake Your Mind
in Concert” events, featuring guest vocalists to compliment the Cosmic
Gate experience.
While the pair are supportive of the trance scene’s recent push
towards old-school sounds, they maintain it won’t have a massive impact
on their next album, that they’re currently working on. “We’ve been
there already, and it wouldn’t feel right for us to go back to where it
all started. We prefer to develop our sound by combining different
styles to create something new."
