'''DJ Micro''' (born '''Michael Marsicano''') is an American trance DJ and producer.

==History== DJ Micro began on the East Coast, where in 1991 he helped form the Caffeine Records collective in Deer Park, NY. Caffeine began as a weekly club night, and Micro spun at many of Caffeine's parties, specializing in acid breaks. In 1994 he joined with Vicious Vic under the name Progression. They released a debut single ''Reach Further'', and were later commissioned{{by whom|date=September 2014}} to remix the artists Paradise 3001, Joe T. Vanelli, Masters at Work, and ''The X-Files'' theme.{{citation needed|date=September 2014}}

He recorded two mix albums for Roadrunner in the late 1990s, ''Coast to Coast'' (1997) and ''Caffeine: The Natural Stimulant'' (1998). Micro's first release for Moonshine Music, ''Micro-Tech Mix'' (1998), was followed by a succession of mix albums, usually one released annually, including ''Tech-Mix-Live'' in 2001.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20011204102201/http://www.chartattack.com/DAMN/2001/08/2801.cfm "CD REVIEWS: Bjork, Slipknot, Grade and many more"]}}.
