Iio (pronounced "eye-oh") is a New York City based electronic dance music act consisting of producer/songwriter Markus Moser and singer/songwriter Nadia Ali. Iio best known for their 2001 hit Rapture (Tastes So Sweet), the lyrics to which were allegedly inspired by a meeting that occurred between vocalist/songwriter Nadia Ali and an unidentified NYC club patron prior to the now infamous lyrics being written. The name Iio is dervied from the Sony PC laptop model VAIO, on which the duo was creating much of their early work.
Iio followed up Rapture with several successful remixes of the track by producers by John Creamer, Stephane K, and Deep Dish. A large number of bootleg and whitelabel remixes ensued, including a highly-sought Paul Van Dyk bootleg remix . After Rapture was released, the duo followed suite with several more successful singles, At The End (including the popular "Scumfrog" remix), Smooth (including the popular "Airbase" remix), and their latest single, Runaway. IIO's full album, Poetica, has been delayed serveral times and is current scheduled for release around May 2005.
