An electronic homage to Kurt Tucholsky. With Weltenbühne (World Stage), the German EBM pioneers Tyske Ludder present an ambitious concept album dedicated to the life and work of the writer and satirist Kurt Tucholsky.The album will be released on June 27, 2025, by the renowned label emmo.biz and will be available in several exclusive formats: as a regular CD, a limited-edition CD box set, and in two limited-edition vinyl releases. Kurt Tucholsky (1890–1935) was one of the most important public figures of the Weimar Republic.As a politically engaged journalist and one-time co-editor of the weekly magazine Die Weltbühne (The World Stage), he proved himself a social critic in the tradition of Heinrich Heine.He was a satirist, cabaret writer, lyricist, novelist, poet, and critic, and considered himself a left-wing democrat, socialist, pacifist, and antimilitarist.Tucholsky warned early on of the threat posed by National Socialism and was stripped of his German citizenship in 1933. In 1935, he took his own life while in exile in Sweden. Tyske Ludder take up Tucholsky's themes and translate them into a musical landscape that oscillates between dark electro, industrial, and EBM.The lyrics are based on Tucholsky's original quotes, poems, and essays and are interwoven with modern soundscapes that reflect both the sharpness of his critique and the melancholy of his exile. Weltenbühne is more than an album—it is an artistic statement against indifference and for the power of words.With this release, Tyske Ludder make a statement for cultural remembrance and political vigilance.
