Jean-Michel Jarre has collaborated with legendary techno artist Nina Kraviz to create “Sex in the Machine Take 2.” The track is a rework of “Sex in the Machine,” taken from Jarre’s acclaimed 2022 album OXYMORE.
“Sex in the Machine Take 2” brings Nina’s unique style to the table, progressing the dark, mechanical rhythms of the original into something more hypnotic and atmospheric. The track’s syncopated beat interplays with an ambient soundscape of layered synths, dark melodic motifs and Nina’s own additional vocals. “Sex in the Machine Take 2” is a journey through ambiance, melody, rhythm, and progression, designed to transport the listener to a state of meditative euphoria.

Speaking about the track, Jean-Michel Jarre said: "Beyond her style as one of the most influential DJ's today, Nina has a unique way of using her voice which adds a dark poetic colour to her tracks. She brings her haunted futuristic signature to ‘Sex in the Machine Take 2,’ which works so beautifully."
Internationally renowned Siberian electronic music artist Nina Kraviz is the most successful woman in her field: headliner of the world's largest music festivals, acclaimed producer, singer, songwriter and the founder of two record labels трип (trip) and Galaxiid.
The rework continues a series of collaborations from the album, including most recently “SYNTHY SISTERS TAKE 2” with Adiescar Chase, and previously “EPICA TAKE 2” with Marseille-based Electronic producer and multi-instrumentalist French 79; “EPICA EXTENSION” with Brian Eno; “BRUTALISM TAKE 2” with Martin Gore; and “BRUTALISM REPRISE” with Deathpact.
The original “Sex in the Machine” track appears on Jarre’s album OXYMORE crafted as a tribute to the French roots of electronic music which has had a major influence on the music production of the genre over the years. OXYMORE is also an homage to the late French composer Pierre Henry, an iconic figure in electronic and classical music, and one of Jarre’s influences at the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) where he studied. OXYMORE was released in October 2022. Conceptually it is his most ambitious and groundbreaking album to date, and the first commercial release of this scale which fully utilizes multichannel and binaural sound (spatial 3D). Jarre produced, composed, recorded and mixed in 360 degree audio in the "Innovation" studios at Radio France.
