OD Hunte's iPhone and iPod Touch company Appnoose has been honored by having his App ITGO - Interval Trainer GO placed in the US and many international App stores as a featured Staff Favorite. Appnoose is about to release its first game called Gorilla Monkey Crunch.

The first Quarter of 2009 has been a very busy period for OD Hunte. OD's Ten Days Till has been adding to the US Film, TV and Game placements with another synch for his track Get Them Hands Hi in the Warner Brothers US TV series Fast Lane. That brings the total number of US synchs up to 5 for the OD Hunte produced, recorded and mixed Get Them Hands Hi (American Pie 6 - Beta House, EA Sports NBA Live 07, Paula Abdul's Hey Paula and The Deceiver). This of course is only five of the hundreds of international TV shows and handful of US films that have used music by OD Hunte. See some of the list here.. Or read previous news.

OD is wrapping up production and recording on the project which has kept him busy for the past 7 months, 18 year old singer Lovelle. This project promises to introduce a truly genre defying new sound and artist to the world with the help of one of the UKs most successful AnR executives and the exceptionally talented songwriter / actress Sian Martin (The Beach, EastEnders, Holby City).

UK residents will no doubt be getting to know Fresh Air, the funky house track produced by Benji Whytepatch featuring Gift and Miss Teejah as it is gaining radio airplay on Choice FM, 1 Xtra and many significant UK radio stations.

TED the UK's leading supplier of resort entertainment in the UK, Europe and the Med were so impressed with OD's previous theme tune productions, that they commissioned a new theme to their Bear in The Woods show. Although this assignment was outside of OD's usual remit of Hip Hop, Soul, RnB and Reggae and instead Pop-Rock we again see that OD's ear for a good tune and production produces excellent results. Vocals were by Manchester singer Vicky Nolan.

OD has signed new singer songwriter Daniel Spencer to a production deal. They will be developing tracks for future release.
Promotion will begin shortly for the OD Hunte produced track Strike Back by Lady Maga best known for her feature on the Basement Jaxx single Jump.
