iiO (sometimes typed as iio) was a prominent New York City-based house music duo, composed of producer Markus Moser and singer/songwriter Nadia Ali. The duo initially gained widespread recognition in the early 2000s with their breakout single "Rapture," which quickly ascended the dance music charts and became a club staple internationally, heightening their profile in the electronic music scene. Released in 2001, "Rapture" seamlessly fused elements of progressive house with Nadia Ali's distinctive, sultry vocals, positioning iiO as significant players within the electronic dance music genre.

With Nadia Ali's evocative voice and Markus Moser's production prowess, iiO continued to shape the soundscape of dance music with tracks that frequently explored themes of love and relationships, backed by their signature blend of melodic hooks and deep grooves. Although iiO was short-lived as a group—Nadia Ali departed in 2005 to pursue a solo career—their influence persisted through a series of posthumous releases and remixes. Albums such as "Poetica" (2005) cemented their legacy in the dance music community, with the duo's complete discography being characterized by a mix of dancefloor anthems and more introspective electronic compositions. Despite iiO's dissolution, the resonance of their music continues to be felt, largely due to Nadia Ali's continued success as a solo artist and the enduring popularity of their earlier collaborative works.
