South African global future bass producer Maramza launched his music career as Richard The Third, crafting hip-hop beats for Tumi Molekane and producing a large batch of the tracks on Spoek Mathambo's 2010 debut album. Under his Maramza moniker, the Cape Town-based beatmaker looks to shed his underground hip-hop roots and dive into the SA sounds of kwaito, gqom, and Mzansi rap.

Those sounds are all present in Maramza's 50-minute installment of Africa In Your Earbuds, which the producer describes in an e-mail to Okayafrica as "an all South African mix of Cape Town bass, Jozi hip-hop and Durban kwaito, with sprinklings of gqom, Soulection-style turnup & iKapa rap." On his mix, Maramza kicks things off with Sibot and Okmalumkoolkat's "Nice Shandees," then runs through a host of booming SA joints and his own remixes of Uhuru, Jumping Back Slash, Riky Rick, PHFat and many others. "[This is] Basically some of the music I've been playing," he writes, "and some of the music I will be playing at gigs around the country, from day time outside jams to sweaty late night club sets."
