Mikro
Mikro was formed in 1997 in Thessaloniki by Nikos Bitzenis [a.k.a. Nikonn] (vocals, synths, programming) and Giannis Lefkaditis (guitar, bass, sax, synths). The two friends shared a common vision for an electronic band with influences from pop, rock, and more alternative sounds. Mikro’s sound is “multiform” and combines elements from electronica, synthpop, big beat, dance, breakbeat, drum’n’bass, easy listening, pop, disco, and rock, blending male and female vocals. The current lineup of the band, in addition to Nikos and Giannis, includes Chloe Ann (vocals/keyboards), Apostolos Bitzenis (synthesizers), and Christos Aslanidis (synth/drumpads). Their discography from 1998 to the present includes 10 studio albums, as well as numerous singles and remixes for both Greek and international artists, with their most recent release being the album “SUPERHEROES,” which was released in March 2024. Mikro has performed many concerts in Greece and abroad and has played at major festivals with internationally known artists such as Morrissey, Hooverphonic, Ladytron, The Raveonettes, Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode, and others. After a 10-year hiatus (2014-2024), Mikro made a powerful comeback with both new music and live shows, performing at major festivals. Their live performances are accompanied by video projections they curate themselves and are characterized by the band’s high energy, which is transmitted to the audience in a unique way, creating the perfect atmosphere for an unforgettable live show/party. Their song “This City,” nearly 20 years after its release, continues to be heard in clubs and on the radio, having become an anthem for fun and dancing.
