MANUFACTURA NEWS

By Karloz Manufactura

It’s been a while since I’ve updated, figured I’d let you know whats up and new, since someone wondered if I was still working on music. I’m currently working on a TON of projects, Mastering 3 different albums for other bands, working on remixes for 4 other artists, currently doing some mixing and production work on 6 different projects/bands including work on the new MANUFACTURA album which has become a little more complex then expected due to the nature of the music. As well as several collaboration projects, I’m also knee deep in graphic design for several EP and album covers and if that’s not enough I’m about to begin explorations in to a possible west coast tour. Also initial work has begun into a possible new EP or album for BROKEN FABIOLA, still too soon to tell which way it’s going to go. There is also a possibility that my other project STRANGER DREAMS will see a new release before the end of the year. A new EP for DREAMSCAPE INVOCATION is also in the works. For a little sugar on top I’m also working on a couple of very special tribute covers that I can’t go into details about just yet but I’m sure some of you will dig it.

SO yes…..I’m still VERY MUCH working on music, pretty much every day, can’t stop, won’t stop. Sadly I don’t make much money doing any of this work anymore, but then again I love working on music and frankly I hate to call it “work” although it does take a lot of work, time, time, time and patience. As always, thanks so much for all your support, your kind words, and your encouragement. MUCH LOVE to those that have purchased and continue to purchase from CRUNCH POD ( https://crunchpod.bandcamp.com ), there are so many awesomely talented and incredible bands on Crunch Pod that you should all check out. ?

Now back to the kitchen to cook up more beats, more sounds, more music, more dreams and more magic.

MANUFACTURA BIO:

Influential, controversial, admired and despised. 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/experimental/electronic/IDM/etc. project from the mind of Karloz M, 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 more than 20 years now, Manufactura has been behind some of the most creative, genre-pushing explorations of power noise, ranging from the straightforward club-killers, to gritty and atmospheric moods, to lyrically-driven EBM crossovers. His music 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, serene and melancholy down-tempo moment, then up again, pounding your fists away at the heavy beat. His brilliance lies in making it all flow together perfectly. 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 some of the most chilling moments are the quietest.
