Morphology

uplift + trance

This is a straightforward adjective+noun composition: 'uplifting' (causing improved mood or euphoria) modifies 'trance' (a trance music style), so the overall meaning — a trance subgenre that produces uplifting, euphoric feelings — is directly inferable from the parts. The pattern is morphologically and semantically regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.

Etymology

Uplifting trance comes from the words uplifting (lifting up) and trance (a dreamy, calm state). That's why you can picture music that lifts you out of a dreamy mood into joy and energy, and it means a type of trance music with emotional, energetic melodies that make listeners feel 'lifted'.
