Ugress means weed in Norwegian (weed as in an unwanted plant and not as in the street name for cannabis).

Ugress’s music can be related to other artists as Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers and Propellerheads. Some similarity to royksopp has been suggested, but Ugress is known to have a more “dirty” style. Ugress is also known for using lots of sample snippets from various artists and TV shows. Often Ugress is mistaken for being the name and only project of Gisle Martens Meyer, but Ugress is actually one of several projects by Uncanny Records. Each project spawns its own music style but nevertheless you can recognize the “vibe” that goes through most of the available music.

In May 2006, Gisle Martens Meyer, released an new album, Nanokaravan, from one of his side projects Shadow Of The Beat.

Currently (summer 2009) Ugress is doing music and songs for successful Norwegian kids sci-fi show Kometkameratene, to be released early fall 2009.
