What is the "beat" part of trance song?

hey this has been bugging me for awhile even though i've been listening to trance for awhile.. but anyway what is the segment of a song called where it is just the beat acting as the main part? this is more obvious in vocal trance like the singer would sing, then sometimes a beat would come in and just "beat" like the vocals.. I'm sure everyone has heard cascada - everytime we touch because i hear it on the radio all the time so i'll use that as an example.. its right after the first chorus around 0:55 to 1:37

i even went through this DJ glossary i found only but it was really long and i might have read over it by accident. Thanks in advance.

if all you hear is the beat part of the song... then it's called the beat.

Seems fairly straight-forward to me.

are you talking about the climax or the chorus?

Luckily got Cascada's cd right here with me, and had a listen to 0:55

Thats called a breakdown bro, And the beat coming in is a 'kick'. If you ever get into making music you'll soon realise its a very important part of musical production. I always love the breakdowns in trance because it sounds so uplifting and makes you feel somewhat free.

In my opinion anyway.. you guys get that to right? .. right?

Edit: P.S - Basically all music is producted roughly the same way. Starting with the 'work up' part of the song
Then a breakdown
Then the kick comes back in

And as you can see.. (In this Cascada track) some tunes have 2 breakdowns. Followed by the 'outro' of the song
