Are there any resources out there that you would recommend to learn about this stuff?

Underdog Music School on Youtube is fantastic. Also check out Polarity Music, Andrew Huang, AlexReidStudios, and TachesTeaches.

Basic song writing is a good place to start (and should cover the dynamics/loudness of notes and sounds as per the parent post to introduce groove). Then combine with sound engineering.

There is a lot of resources all over the web, and tutors and courses that you can do.

If you want to start off with an easy introduction then maybe Oscar @ Underdog can help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAJz4-YZdio&t=8s

If you want to product Psytrance - then you are lucky because IMHO it's perhaps the easiest most formulaic genre.
