Maybe you’ve already read the review, seen the pictures or followed the tweets, but still we’d like to take the opportunity to thank our beloved readers and guests for coming out to Electronic Beats Festival Vienna 2012 last Friday. Also, we’d like to thank the whole production team as well as—of course—all the artists involved in the night. The above, for instance, is a picture of Georg Steinmaier, drummer of the Anglo-German band I Heart Sharks. While we captured guitarist Simon Wangemann playing in the crowd, Vienna-based photographer Matthias Hombauer took some very nice, intimate yet action-packed pictures of all the Sharks. And some of James Blake’s live set. Follow Matthias’ blog and twitter feed for more insights and great photography. ~ Photo: © Oreste Schaller
