With a string of acclaimed releases and collaborations behind him, Greek producer Non Grata has quickly emerged as one of the most exciting names in the new wave of Afro and melodic house. Known for blending club-focused energy with adventurous production and a distinctly personal touch, he has built a reputation through releases on labels including Madorasindahouse, Deeproot Tribe, and Nervous Records, while earning millions of streams across his growing catalog.
Now, he takes on one of South African house music’s most cherished records: Bucie’s “Get Over It.” Originally released over a decade ago, the track remains a defining moment in the soulful house canon, beloved for its timeless songwriting and Bucie’s unforgettable vocal performance. For Non Grata, the remix was both a personal milestone and an opportunity to reinterpret a classic through his own creative lens.
Following the release of Get Over It (Non Grata Remix) on Madorasindahouse, Techno Station caught up with the producer to discuss the responsibility of reworking an iconic record, his evolving sound, the growing global influence of Afro house, and what lies ahead in a pivotal year that includes his debut appearance at Hï Ibiza.
“Get Over It” is a beloved record with a lot of history behind it. What was your initial reaction when the opportunity to remix it came your way?Non Grata: I was really excited. It’s one of my favorite soulful tracks ever, so getting the chance to hear the original vocal stems gave me chills and it still does. Big thanks to Madorasindahouse for making this happen.
Bucie’s vocal is instantly recognizable and carries a lot of emotional weight. How did you approach working with such an iconic performance while still making the track your own?Non Grata: My priority was to let the vocals shine and give them enough space. I had a vision of a slow burn intro that would allow the lyrics to build momentum, while arranging everything around my signature sound to create something complete and timeless.
The remix manages to feel contemporary without losing the spirit of the original. What elements of the original record were non-negotiable for you?Non Grata: Honestly, I only needed the vocals haha!
There’s a growing conversation around the relationship between Afro house’s roots and its current global popularity. As a producer from Greece, how conscious are you of that heritage when creating music in this space?Non Grata: I’m definitely conscious of it. Afro house has deep cultural roots, so I think it’s important to approach it with respect. At the same time, its global growth has created space for artists like me to experiment, take inspiration from its rhythms, and merge them with our own sound. That fusion has influenced many of my tracks.
Your productions often strike a balance between emotional storytelling and dancefloor functionality. Is that something you actively aim for when you’re in the studio?Non Grata: I always aim to have a club sound in my productions, but at the same time I try to keep things weird, push boundaries, and merge new grooves and genres. Maybe, through that process, I can create something that hasn’t been created before. I’m always curious to hear the next track I haven’t produced yet.
What was the biggest challenge in remixing a track that already has such a strong identity and loyal audience?Non Grata: To be honest, I didn’t really see it as a challenge. It felt more like a moment where I was ready to truly be myself and give a personal twist to a track as big as “Get Over It.” I hope the audience enjoys my version as much as I do.
Over the last few years you’ve been steadily building momentum through releases and collaborations that have reached millions of listeners. Looking back, what do you think has been the biggest turning point in your journey so far?Non Grata: I think my collaboration with RBØR on “Party Throw” was a turning point for me. If I had to choose solo productions, I would say “Ganja” and “97 till Infinity,” because those are the tracks that helped shape a sound people can recognize. Releasing consistently on respected labels such as Madorasindahouse, Deeproot Tribe, and Nervous Records has also been a great source of motivation to keep going.
How would you describe your sound today, and how has it evolved since your earliest productions?Non Grata: I would describe my productions as bold. My sound has definitely changed a lot over the years, and I feel like I’ve managed to establish a signature identity. At the moment, though, I’m not producing as much as I did last year, because I’m in a period of searching for a new sound, a new fusion, and a new groove. Something that can make me feel even more creative again.
When people hear “Get Over It (Non Grata Remix)” for the first time, what do you hope they feel?Non Grata: Goosebumps!
Finally, what can fans expect from Non Grata over the rest of 2026? Any new music, collaborations, or ambitions you’re excited to share?Non Grata: I’m very happy to be making my Hï Ibiza debut on August 17. And of course, there is more music coming out before the end of the year, both solo and collaborative projects. The new music sounds more melodic, more housey, and I would say it comes with a slightly different approach.
