Mikroton Recordings is an independent record label for experimental electronic music, founded by Kurt Liedwart and based in Biel, Switzerland. Mikroton works with a wide range of musicians working in the field of electronic music like sound artist Günter Müller, laptop improviser Christof Kurzmann, electronic musician Jason Kahn and pioneer of tabletop guitar pioneer Keith Rowe, turntablists Dieb13 and eRikm, sound artists Stephen Vitiello, Thomas Lehn, Marcus Schmickler, homemade electronics performer Norbert Möslang, guitarist Burkhard Stangl, composers of electroacoustic music Jérôme Noetinger, Angélica Castelló and others. It usually publishes drone, ambient, electronic, experimental music, and works with mixed electronic and acoustic instrumentation, exploring the intersection between electronic and acoustic fields. The label released two seminal compilation recordings for the Austrian group of artists known as klingt.org, who work in the fields of electroacoustic, experimental music, as well as the free improvisation scene in Berlin's Echtzeitmusik. In 2023, the label underwent a rebranding to concentrate solely on Techno music.
