Midnite Gossip is a cinematic alt-pop duo from Calgary, AB, featuring Nicky Markin (vocals, production) and Mickey Valenz (drums, vocals, production, visuals).

Their sound merges lush, atmospheric production with elements of trip-hop, electronica, and raw, intimate vocals, creating what they describe as a “pretty but gritty” musical and visual aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from 90’s alternative rock, female pop energy, and cinematic soundscapes, they craft immersive music influenced by artists like Portishead, Massive Attack, and Phantogram, blending deep atmospheric textures with dynamic, infectious beats.

Their latest single, "Tightrope," from their upcoming debut EP, may sound like a breakup song on the surface, but at its core, it’s an empowering anthem that invites listeners to “brace for flight”—a mantra for embracing uncertainty and stepping into the unknown. With lo-fi vocals, powerful bass lines, looping drum rhythms, and atmospheric soundscapes, the track takes listeners on an emotional journey through the discomfort of change, the pain of letting go, and the quiet strength it takes to move forward. “For me, walking on a tightrope symbolizes those moments when every step feels uncertain, but you know you have to keep going,” says Markin.

Recorded and produced at their home studio, Midnite Sounds, and mixed and mastered by Trey Mills (Forest Blakk), the track’s plucky strings and unexpected beats keep listeners on edge. “The song doesn’t unfold as you’d expect, and that was very intentional,” says Valenz. “We wanted people to think, ‘I didn’t see that coming,’ or ‘I would’ve done this differently,’ mirroring the unpredictability of change.” Markin adds, “We wanted the production to give that feeling of walking a tightrope and not knowing what’s next but staying committed to the journey.”
