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.

In this BMW spot out of Hamburg agency Jung von Matt, an octopus performs an impressive underwater waltz--powered by a central nervous system. The dance is a metaphor for the unique performance of BMW’s new central control unit: the BMW Heart of Joy.
BMW first unveiled this innovative control computer--which calculates all driving dynamics functions--back in April. During its first major test at Auto Shanghai, the Heart of Joy took center stage as part of the BMW Vision Driving Experience.
Now, BMW showcases the unique performance potential of the Heart of Joy in “Octowaltz,” from production companies Parasol and Untold Studios--with the latter shop’s Diarmid Harrison-Murray serving as director.
The thought experiment: The octopus is a fascinating creature. Its decentralized nervous system allows it to coordinate individual parts of its body independently--much like a conventional car, where acceleration, braking, steering, and other functions are controlled by separate units.
But what if the octopus could channel its power through one central nervous system--the way BMW’s Heart of Joy control unit unites drive, braking, energy regeneration, and partial steering functions?
The result: an unbelievable, perfectly coordinated, masterfully choreographed underwater performance.
The campaign draws a poetic parallel between the fluid movements of the octopus and the driving experience delivered by the Heart of Joy. “Okto the Octopus” waltzes with masterful control, exceptional precision, and effortless agility--while maintaining safety in every situation.
