Host (short for Hardware Overclock Sound Team) is an electro music duo formed in 2022 by LiSt and [THE ZEITGEIST]. 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 samples 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 mixing and mastering. LiSt found help in the form of a user on the Grand Closing Forums, who identified themselves simply as [THE ZEITGEIST], and agreed to assist with mixing. The two would go on to officially make the Host duo.
Speculation

In an interview with Bandcamp, LiSt revealed that while LiSt and U.U.F.O. worked together physically, they had never met [THE ZEITGEIST], 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."[1] Despite confirming the backstory and formation of Host in other interviews, LiSt has not explained any further information about [THE ZEITGEIST], leading some to believe that [THE ZEITGEIST] 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.
