SOUTH Music and Sound used literal car sound effects to create a modern hip hop song in this spot, “Feel Every Detail,” for Genesis directed by Vania & Mugia of production company Iconoclast for agency Innocean.
As we see the car’s many beautiful features appear on screen, the images dovetail with the vehicle’s sounds in a way that adds a unique dimension. The soundtrack seemingly emerges from the car, enabling us to “feel every detail.”
The SOUTH team included creative directors Matt Drenik and Dan Pritikin, composers Mike Mac and Jon Darling, executive producer Ann Haugen and associate producer Alina Fox.
Sound design/mixing house was Lime Studios with Michael Anastasi serving as sound designer and Dave Wagg as audio mixer.

How do you top one of the most viral brand videos ever made? Spoiler alert: you can’t. But when Dollar Shave Club tapped Zack Seckler to direct a new campaign to revive the absurdist humor of its iconic launch video, he knew he had a rare opportunity to create something special.
The brief was simple: introduce the concept of a physical “Club” that people would love to join while showcasing Dollar Shave Club’s products and embracing the weird. From script to direction and post, Seckler--an alum of SHOOT’s 2021 New Directors Showcase--was invited to help sculpt that vision.
The result is this “Welcome to the Club” spot which invites us to join a unique, seemingly exclusive but in reality an accessible and affordable fraternity of Dollar Shave Club members. But you need to know the password or more accurately, the two-word phrase--"shave money."
“The Club” campaign brings the brand back to its humorous roots, reflecting a new chapter after being acquired by Nexus Capital Management from Unilever in late 2023. The work takes Dollar Shave Club back to its disruptive beginnings and what made the brand a viral sensation from its inception in 2011.
