How Vibe's "So Get Up" Put Portugal On The International Dance Music Map (lyrics/vocals by: Ithaka)

DJ VIBE & So Get Up documentary:

DJ Vibe began what would be a ten year residency at Kremlin. In the nineties, Kremlin was considered the third best club in the world and under Vibe's advice started hosting international appearances.

It was 1992 when Vibe was finally flown to New York City. By that time Lisbon had found a place on the world map of clubbing.

The Underground Sound Of Lisbon, a collaboration between Rui Da Silva and Vibe, started of with a track featuring Ithaka's (Ithaka Darin Pappas) voice and poetry. So Get Up was destined to become a perennial dance floor smasher.

Vibe's memory of New York was still vivid in his mind when he started producing So Get Up.

Vibe had just come back from the Big Apple, where he'd see Junior Vasquez play at the epic Sound Factory. He sent a test pressing of So Get Up to a friend in New York City and the record magically arrived in the very hands of Junior Vasquez who started playing the track at the Sound Factory.

One year later, Tribal America, a subsidiary of EMI Records released the single and it soon became a national anthem of Portuguese dance music.

The song climbed to 1st Place on the Billboard U.K. Independent Dance Music charts and the first international edition sold over 50,000 copies.

By the mid-90's, Vibe had become an international ambassador for Portugal's dance music scene.

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 a minimum of a hundred 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 100+ 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.

"YOU" DJ Vibe featuring Ithaka (Peter Baily Remix) Urb Magazine

This track has been killing it for me on dance floors for months. I loved the track so much I asked DJ Vibe to let me do the remix and he said, Yes. The track features lyrics and vocals from Ithaka (ithaka Darin Pappas) who was the voice and lyricist of the classic, "So Get Up". With a steady key line running throughout that builds and builds it's obvious why it causes caos on the dance floor.
