IIO (sometimes written as iiO, pronounced "eye-oh") is a New York City based house music act consisting of producer/songwriter Markus Moser and singer/songwriter Nadia Ali. IIO are 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 derived 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, Armin Van Buuren and Deep Dish. A large number of bootleg and white label remixes ensued, including a highly-sought Paul Van Dyk remix. After "Rapture" was released, the duo followed suit with "At The End" in 2003. The release featured remixes by The Scumfrog and [[Saeed & Palash. IIO's first album, Poetica, has been delayed several times and was finally released in May 2005. "Smooth" was the first single released to promote the (then still upcoming) album, and was followed by "Runaway", and their latest single, "Kiss You".
