I'm pretty new to producing psytrance (not new to producing in general).

Honestly coming from a more mainstream dance music background, I have to say I've been struggling to wrap my head around psytrance.

Do you start out by creating cool sequences with LFOs etc in Serum, Vital, Phase Plant etc and just slowly start building until you have a 'climax' section, and then work backwards?

Do you start out with the core riff / melody and build around that?

I have my kick, bassline and percussion pretty locked down - but it's just, where to start?

Any insights much appreciated! I'm determined to make my first psytrance track, but I want to do it right
