On the fifth outing of his own Lost In Reverie imprint, Nau Squaglia splits the difference between widescreen progressive and late-night deep house, delivering a two-tracker that’s equal parts finesse and floor pull.
“Detour (Original Mix)” is the statement cut: a patient, progressive house climb where lush piano voicings fold into stratified harmonies and a subtly hypnotic drum grid. The arrangement breathes—breaks open to let the chord bloom, then tightens around a sinewy bass figure—so DJs get room to narrate without losing momentum. It’s that rare “big room without bluster” feel: emotive, polished, and engineered to sound expensive on a system.
Flip to “This Moment (Original Mix)” and the palette warms. A pulsating bassline shoulders the groove while organic percussion sketches human contours around it; the topline is a radiant, earworm melody that makes space for a seductive vocal cameo rather than draping everything in it. Squaglia’s mix choices stay tasteful—transients are crisp, reverbs are purposeful, and the mids never smear—so the track reads intimate on headphones and confident on a club rig.
What unites both sides is intent. Nau Squaglia writes for bodies and memory at once: tactile grooves, melodies that land clean, and structures that invite long blends. If your sets live between melody-forward progressive and supple deep house, this is a tidy weapon.
