Let the Discovery Begin

Host Bodies is a live electronic duo based in San Francisco. Their sound often defies genre — to the delight of live audiences and dedicated headphone listeners. Think: guitar solos over dance music, rap vocals over lush beats, harmonic synths over groovy bass loops — high energy, big emotion, and raw creativity.

Since forming Host Bodies in 2013, founders James Collector and Nick Hess have been performing around the Bay Area and releasing original songs and remixes. Their debut LP “Daily Apparatus” offers a full-spectrum experience of the duo’s tastes and talents. Their followup EP “Diamondfruit” focuses on melodic instrumentals engineered to calm and center the listener. A series of singles set for release in 2021 and 2022 promise to expand the Host Bodies universe in all directions: higher vibes, deeper soul, and wider horizons — stay tuned.
