ALGERONICS was an electronic side-project formed in 2006 by George Banzon at the age of 14 years old. The name comes from the first half of Algernon and the second half of electronics. It was influenced by the deeper ambient electronica sound similar to artists such as Lali Puna, Dntel, Arthur & Yu, dublab, etc.
In early 2007, the project was abandoned when ALGERONICS was lost in musical direction. Later that year, he experimented on various electronic styles and was finally introduced to sampling. ALGERONICS was then used as a named for unreleased/unfinished tracks or previews for upcoming tracks for more serious projects.
By the end of 2007, ALGERONICS found a growing interest for the arising epidemic of the electronic dance scene. In particular, he found himself becoming addicted to the French-Electro scene which included new influences like Daft Punk, Surkin, Teenage Bad girl, Justice, Para One, Sebastian, tacteel, Teki Latex etc.
In 2008, ALGERONICS officially became the name of his dance project. ALGERONICS started experimenting with this new style mainly producing original tracks at a rapid pace. At this time, he was beginning to learn more about DJing as well.
In 2009, the project started to become more serious. ALGERONICS was then introduced to music blogs and in January he started to produce unofficial remixes for songs he felt like remixing and continued on with original compositions. In just six months of serious production, he was able to catch the attention of music bloggers and quickly got on some of the major blogs. One of the more popular bootlegs was Aphex Twin’s “Windowlicker” which was featured on hype machine’s popular music charts.
