Ugress is a “cinema-electro” project by Norwegian artist Gisle Martens Meyer, or GMM for short. His first EP E-Pipe debuted on vinyl in 2000, and since then he has been active making tunes, some of which have been nominated for multiple awards. He publishes songs under his own record label, Uncanny Planet Records.

Besides his main project Ugress, he has alternate aliases that he uses to perform in other genres as well—Nebular Spool is focused around creating “post-apocalyptic ruin-wave” with somber and dystopian vibes; Shadow Of The Beat is another alias, under which he creates gloomy dark organic electronica; and Ninja 9000 is the least active of them, with only two 8-bit tunes.

His passion for music doesn’t stop behind the mix table. His live performance Ugress Live is a show featuring his music and intriguing visual effects. Ugress performed a live show titled Ugress Live Cinema in 2020, where he starred in a live music video shown on a big screen and being recorded in front of a green-screen in real-time.
