Io

Io is a German industrial artist who works under the name iO. The project is linked to Alexander, who returns to performing after a long period of making music and also co-owns Mulen Records. The music is described as underground house with a focus on deep flows, using jazz-influenced riffs, syncopation, samples and restrained rhythms alongside a more futuristic approach.

The project draws attention through its production and groove, and is associated with non-commercial electronic music rather than peak-time club sound. It presents itself as house music with an emphasis on detail, rhythm and atmosphere.

The name IO also appears on a number of unrelated artists and groups in other genres, including punk, post-metal, metal, black metal, drum and bass, rock, ambient and experimental music, but this project is identified as the German industrial artist.
