I think trance is more about drive, and melodys than groove (well uplifting anyway) but thats not to say it don't have any at all..

I love trance, its what I listen to and try and produce, but when I used to go out clubbing all the time I'd go to shindig where every week you would see a big name house dj playing tunes that are simple, have next to nothing in them, but they were groovy as hell (the bass, percussion, and use of fx) which is what made you dance all night (that and a few little fellas).

well a lot of the techier stuff is groovier and simpler so to speak. a lot of the stuff on gdjb nowadays - michael woods tracks, pobsky - dark cloud are very simple. a case of less is more. but they build a groove through syncopated percussion and little delayed stabs. michael woods - dynamik is a perfect example. to be honest, i prefer this than the melodic trance with long breakdowns which i'm kind of tired of.

Yup I'll agree with you on this.
