Mikro is a Greek band based in Thessaloniki, Greece. It was formed in 1998 and was named after the Greek word micro used in metric measuring systems. Their main focus is electronic music. In their releases they initially used an all-caps Greek spelling of their name (ΜΙΚΡΟ), however in their latest releases ("Restart", "Download", "Upload") they have switched to a non all-caps spelling, transliterated to the Latin Alphabet (Mikro).

Nikos Bitzenis and Yiannis Leucaditis began experimenting with electropop music in the late 90s having influences of the 80s era such as Depeche Mode, Erasure, New Order and Duran Duran.
