Honestly, trance is really great. My favorite subgenre is uplifting. It has great melodies. Try some artists like nitrous oxide. Downforce, Supra, and Reborn are really good. The Onova remix of Midas touch is also good. Overdrive by Ron van den Beuken is a bit retro, but incredibly stimulating, maybe in the way you want. The overdrived guitar is incredible. I really want to work with similar ideas in the future. I hope you check out some of these songs.
