"I Ride" por Ithaka

"I RIDE" - Ithaka, UM MULTI TALENTOSO HOMEM DO MAR Deixamos aqui um tema musical que descreve alguns motivos pelos quais este artista Californiano (com fortes ligações a Portugal) faz o seu "ride" pelas ondas. palavras com as quais muitos de nós se identificam com certeza. Ithaka Darin Pappas é Californiano, um artista na verdadeira grandeza que a palavra encerra ‐ escultor, fotógrafo, escritor, músico, surfista ‐ tendo no mar e no surf uma das suas matérias primas criativas. Ithaka tem também uma ligação muito forte ao nosso País, onde tem amizades sólidas passando por isso por cá várias temporadas. Em termos musicais Ithaka, gravou em Lisboa, os seus dois primeiros álbuns de hip hop, Flowers And The Color Of Paint e Stellafly. A sua música, Escape From The City Of Angels, apareceu na banda sonora do longa-metragem da Columbia Pictures, The Replacement Killers. Durante os diversos anos que residiu em Portugal, alguns dos seus projectos musicais foram nomeados para um total de nove Blitz Awards (o equivalente Português dos Prémios Grammy). A sua faceta de escultor: "Eu gosto de saber a história por detrás de cada prancha... porque cada prancha tem uma história para contar". Darin Pappas soletrou estas palavras a um shaper brasileiro, na sua oficina quando este se preparava para lhe ceder umas das suas velhas pranchas para uma nova criação do multifacetado artista californiano. Na sua faceta de escultor, Ithaka transforma shapes convencionais em novas e excêntricas formas, criando verdadeiras obras de arte daquilo que muitos poderão considerar uma amalgama velha e amarelada de foam e resina!

So Get Up lyrics

https://www.lyrics.com/sublyric/96238/Ithaka/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 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 or 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. c. Ithaka Darin Pappas 1992

The track, which utilized Ithaka's original 1992 vocal, was included in the soundtrack of the 2000 British thriller film Sorted directed by Alexander Jovy along with renowned musical acts such as; Leftfield, Morcheeba, Public Enemy, Elvis Presley and Depeche Mode. The song was played during the closing titles sequence of the film, ending the entire film with Ithaka Darin Pappas' acapella line, "I'll See You In The Next Life".

DJ MAG's Lauren Martin and Portugal's DJ Vibe (Underground Sound of Lisbon) discuss “So Get Up” - for the Red Bull Music Academy lecture series 2019

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.

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..
