Karloz.M started working on music in 1998 mainly using tape-to-tape experimentation. That same year a friend heard some recordings and urged him to get a computer. In 1999 Karloz.M began working on his very first computer produced material, mainly working on beats, that he could use on his DJ nights. Friend DJ Hana-Solo heard some of these beats and told him to work on a fully constructed track with all the nuts and bolts. After listening to some of the very first 1999 demo tracks, DJ Hana-Solo and his friend Scott Sturgis of Converter and Pain Station fame told Karloz to keep writing and to fully pursue a music outlet. The result was the birth of Manufactura in the fall of 2000. Early 2001 saw the release of Manufactura's debut CD titled "Regression". Since the release of the Debut CD for Manufactura, Karloz.M has been working non-stop on remixes for many artists with in the powernoise, EBM, synthpop, Industrial genres such as Converter, Combichrist, Terrorfakt, Haujobb, Sonar, E-craft, Aghast View and many more. In the past 5 years, Manufactura has performed close to 300 shows across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. With such notable bands as Converter, Sonar, Haujobb, Hocico, Combichrist, Terrorfakt, Sister Machine Gun, Glis, Imperative Reaction, Assemblage 23, Babyland, Synapscape, SMP and many, many more. After several special limited releases and the first 2 albums, 2005 marks the release of "Presence: into the here and the now" as the 3rd and newest album by Manufactura. It is the continuation of a journey that began five years earlier with "Regression", and was continued through with "Precognitive Dissonance"
