'''Host''' (short for '''Hardware Overclock Sound Team''') is an electro music [[Names of more iconic duos|duo]] formed in 2022 by [[LiSt]] and [[ZEITGEIST|<span class=wocky>'''[THE ZEITGEIST]'''</span>]]. The duo made their debut with their mini-album [[Hexstallia Original Sound Track]]. Host is known for their electronic [[sound]], which LiSt generates from a machine inside of the [[U.U.F.O.]]

==History==
===Pre-Challenge 2===
LiSt first formed Host not long after they signed up for [[The Wiki Camp 2]]. They took particular interest in U.U.F.O. after hearing it produce several EDM [[sample]]s from its body. Curious, LiSt investigated U.U.F.O. and took a tour of its interior, where they found a studio room with a machine that resembled a [[DJ]] mixset. LiSt started to make their own songs with this set, and was fascinated by what it was able to produce. They wanted to make their own [[album]], but needed help with [[Street Fighter|mix]]ing and [[master]]ing. LiSt found help in the form of a user on the [[Grand Closing Forums]], who identified themselves simply as <span class=wocky>'''[THE ZEITGEIST]'''</span>, and agreed to [[assist]] with mixing. The two would go on to [[official]]ly make the Host duo.

===Speculation===
{{ambox|type=content|text = This section possibly contains '''unsourced predictions, speculative material, or accounts of events that might not occur'''. Information must be verifiable and based on reliable published sources.}}
In an interview with [[Bandcamp]], LiSt revealed that while LiSt and U.U.F.O. worked together physically, they had never met <span class=wocky>'''[THE ZEITGEIST]'''</span>, [[Daft Punk|face to face]], stating that "for now, it's just not meant to be. They're helping us over the [[internet]] with his computer, and that's that."<ref>Bandcamp page</ref> Despite confirming the [[backstory]] and formation of Host in other interviews, LiSt has not explained any further information about <span class=wocky>'''[THE ZEITGEIST]'''</span>, leading some to believe that <span class=wocky>'''[THE ZEITGEIST]'''</span> has ulterior motives or alternate reasons as to why they stay [[hidden]].

===Hexstallia Original Sound Track===
Putting the U.U.F.O. to a [[test]], Host produced a soundtrack for the game [[Hexstallia]], which consists of short songs taking inspiration from various EDM [[subgenres]]. The album release was met with decent [[success]] despite its short length. LiSt's friend [[Snake Plant]] made an appearance on the soundtrack release with a remix of OPTIONSCHRANZ.
