Multumesc mult, Daniela! Voi adauga si acest sens.

aici.. tine pasul/nu pierde legatura...?

Hip=cool (maybe "misto")" be hip"is "fashionable/in style'; a "hip crowd' is a group that sets the trend("trend setters")= select and stylish group =inventeaza o noua moda;
in contextul asta,"hip up" poate fii " a sta informat/ a sta la curent/ a tine pasul cu.
Daca alegi " a tine pasul" o lasi ambiguu in sensul ca se poate referi la ambele" a sta la curent" sau a "sta la moda" ceea ce s-ar lega mai bine cu " stay cool".

Odata se mai spunea si "be in' pentru Hip it up si unii dintre noi pe aici prin Romania chiar ziceau: cutare e "in"!

Deschide urechea bine!/Nu-ti pierde stilul

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hip
. hip 164 up, 46 down

Cooler than cool, the pinnacle of what is "it". Beyond all trends and conventional coolness. Not to be mistaken for "deck".

"Stay away from the tacky velvet-rope MTV frat-boy clubs on the beach. Check out this party downtown instead, it's gonna be hip."
2. hip 57 up, 7 down

The state of being in-the-know, including, but not limited to, being stylish or fashionable. It is sometimes claimed to have replaced its predecessor, "hep," with the 1946 popular song, "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66," first recorded by Nat Cole, and the Rolling Stones (and many others) after that. According to the songwriter, he changed "hep" to "hip" for the sake of a rhyme (see example).

. . . get hip / To this kindly tip / And take that California trip,/ Get your kicks on Route 66.



sensul e cam acelasi cu "stay cool" sau mai degraba "get cool"

Note from asker:
Multumesc, dar atentie: este vorba despre engleza britanica! Intrebarea a disparut pentru ca probabil o marcasem romanina to english in mod eronat.
Avand in vedere si contextul si linkurile exemplificatoare, as zice ca Hip it up inseamna modernizeaza-te, innoieste-te, iar nu-ti pierde stilul merge pentru stay cool! Mi s-a parut ciudat ca nimeni nu a incercat sa le traduca pe amandoua...
Multumesc frumos pentru toate contributiile si linkurile exemplidficatoare ....
