Locnville

Identical twin brothers Andrew and Brian Chaplin formed Locnville in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2009.

[2] Their debut studio album titled Sun in My Pocket was released in South Africa in February 2010[3][4] and had proven to become a major success, peaking at No.

On 27 August 2007, III released a twelve track album, titled What They Say, on a South African mobile phone based social networking application called MXit.

[citation needed] The group disbanded soon after and Andrew and Brian Chaplin went on to create Locnville, the name of which is still a mystery, however the twins did say it has to do with their background and the fact that they had lived in both the United States and South Africa.

The CD format of Sun in My Pocket was later released in South Africa in February 2010 after being remastered in the UK by Wez Clarke (Ministry of Sound, Hed Kandi).

The album features guest collaborations with Reason, Lakota Silva, Mathew Gold, Pascal & Pearce, Tailor and Ross Jack.

"Grapevine", which was mixed and mastered by Ariel Chobaz (Justin Bieber, Drake & Nicki Minaj) and features vocals by Sabi (who has worked with Tyga, Britney Spears & Chris Brown) made its debut on Apple Music and Beats Radio on 12 February 2016 worldwide.

Having recorded half of the album over a period of five months in the US, and going back to their first name Locnville instead of LCNVL, the twins are excited for South African fans to hear the new sound.

The EP that consists of 5 songs and will feature four guests – indie artists Muzi Mnisi who now resides in Atlanta, Georgia, 19-year-old Cape Town-based Anica Kiana, Swaziland's Apple Gule and popular hip-hop lyricist Gigi Lamayne.

Andrew added the following about the EP, "Tribes & Angels is our first release in a while and a lead up to our next full-length LP to mark our first decade in the industry which is a huge milestone."

They later on stated that the reason for creating Contra-Banned was that "artists get a tiny percentage at the end of it all...”, and they felt this was unfair as they put a lot of time and effort into what they did.
