Mikro () is a Greek electronic music band based in Thessaloniki, Greece. It was formed in 1998 and was named after the Greek word micro used in metric measuring systems. In their releases they initially used an all-caps Greek spelling of their name (ÃÂÃÂÃÂáÃÂ), but in their latest releases ("Restart", "Download", "Upload") they have switched to a non all-caps spelling, transliterated to the Latin Alphabet (Mikro).
Mikro's lyrics are sung in both Greek and English.
Bandleader Nikos Bitzenis cites influences such as Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Vangelis, OMD, the Human League and Yazoo. He and Yiannis Leucaditis began experimenting with electropop music in the late 1990s. Later, Panos Tolios (of the Greek band Xylina Spathia), George Costopoulos and Ria Mazine joined the group and their EP Stagones (ãÃÂñóÃÂýõÃÂ, Drops) was released in 1998. After the production of the single Aspri Sokolata (ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ÷ ãÿúÿûìÃÂñ, White Chocolate), Panos Tolios and George Costopoulos left the group and Stelios Emmanuelidis joined.
Nikos Bitzenis' solo album was released in 2006 by the name Poladroid. Sunday, a single of Poladroid, was used in the 9th edition of Buddha Bar's compilation albums.
