Soviet Suprem

Soviet Suprem is a French musical group known for their satirical and eccentric stage personas, embodying the imaginary leaders of a Soviet-inspired "Balkan-Techno" republic. The band was formed in 2013 by two French artists, R-Wan from the electro-Gypsy band Java and Toma Feterman from La Caravane Passe. They quickly established themselves as a blend of politically charged performance art and raucous, genre-fusing music.

Soviet Suprem’s music embodies a unique blend of electronic beats, traditional Eastern European influences, and a radical political aesthetic that draws on imagery and themes from the bygone Soviet era. Their crafty lyricism and energetic performances parody and critique contemporary political issues through the lens of Cold War iconography and propaganda. Titles such as "Made in China," "Marx Attack," and "Bolchoï" reflect the band’s playful yet poignant exploration of global politics, economic systems, and cultural exchange, often delivered with a cheeky sense of humor. With a lively stage presence and a penchant for costume, Soviet Suprem has garnered a following among those who appreciate their blend of irreverent humor, satirical commentary, and infectious beats.
