2012 was fast, rich and awesome. We were 5 years old and we had a month long BDay party and we gave away an Ableton Live 8. We had amazing stuff, like the Dante’s Rebirth Project (Tangerine Dream remix contest), teamed up with Point Blank, started a weekly radio show on RCKO.FM, reshaped our Illegal Sundays, and so on and so forth and to end to top off the year we had a wicked NYE party with Deep88.

2012 was the last year for the current version of AudioPorn Central, in few months we will relaunch the site, completely redesign and rebuilt from scratch. New look, new functions, bigger, better and sharper as we ever were.

THANK YOU for your massive and never stopping love, SEE YOU HERE IN 2013 !!!
