Official Manufactura Channel:
______________________________ _______

Genre twisting, intense, in your face, violent, maniacal, twisted.....the list goes on. Throw these pieces together and you are presented with Manufactura. The gripping Powernoise/Industrial/EBM/expe rimental/electronic/etc. project from the mind of Karloz M. His CDs will take you on a journey through the mind of a mad man, loud and angry, crunchy and hard hitting. Then, before you know it, you're lost in the middle of a soothing down-tempo moment, then up again, pounding your fists away at the heavy beat. His brilliance lies in making it all flow together perfectly.

It doesn't stop there either. Karloz M. lends his talents to the moody side project Broken Fabiola and his spoken word project titled Karloz Manufactura. He definitely serves up something for every pallet, and every mood.

From misplaced accusations of fascism and misogyny to night club altercations that generated all manner of Internet rumors, Manufactura creator Karloz M. is one of the most controversial figures in the modern rhythmic noise scene. If parts of his reputation can be disputed, however, his talent cannot. For going on 10 years now, Manufactura has been behind some of the most creative, genre-pushing explorations of power noise, ranging from the straightforward club-killers of his debut, Regression, to the gritty and atmospheric moods of Precognitive Dissonance, to the more lyrically-driven EBM crossovers of Presence: Into the Here and Now and We're Set Silently on Fire, not to mention a spoken word album and a melancholy IDM side project.

Manufactura's music is intertwined with violence, but unlike the militaristic imagery of many of his fellow artists, Karloz M. explores violence from an intensely personal level that no doubt adds to the controversy. By dealing with the uglier side of human nature from such a close perspective, there's something inherently more confrontational about his music. You can't dance to a Manufactura track and then forget about it; it's more disturbing than your typical four-on-the-floor beat laced with war movie samples. There's a lot more to Manufactura than aggression, though, and on M.'s latest CD, a collection of remixes and collaborations, some of the most chilling moments are the quietest.
