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. They are best known for their 2001 hit "Rapture (Tastes So Sweet)", the lyrics to which were allegedly inspired by a meeting that occured 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 model named "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 sucessful 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 several times but is expected to be released in 2004.
