I don't think it is that special production wise.
Every sound just has it's own space on the different axis:
Time
left-right
frequency
volume/ reverb

they use lot layering technic in these styles, for one lead you can get 3 or 4 synths layer with identical or little different midi lines.(to make pseudo chords on some notes and all these stuff..)
dunno if is used there but if you want more depth, layering can do it with good use of verbs too..
it sound good cause there is "no mudd that eat space" in the low mids and good tonal balance (the way i describte it with my words)
if you a/b it too a psytrance tune, the psy one may sound muddy with bad tonal balance..a big part of this i think come down to the saw bassline used in psy ,cause of the harmonics its easy to get muddy mix

wihtout mudd you gain lot of clarity ,separation and depth . i find the low mids are very tricky , for me it s there often the problem area, it need to be clear so the mix feel like it breath and have a nice separation .

I read this a while back and listened to the track. While it is a great piece of music, (due to her voice that I like and the steel drum sounds lol) it really isn't that difficult to produce. I never really tried to make music like this before, because I honestly felt and feel weird doing it. When I did however, I found it was easy to achieve a similar sound. Picture it unmastered and flat... If you approach it from a purely sterile view point you will realize it is important to modulated each element precisely and that with this specific piece, arrangement is key. It is very simply arranged but well modulated and that seems to be the main aspect to commercial music. Reverb is another key, but Supergroover already covered everything about that. Front Back Left Right... Brighter sounds appear closer, duller in the rear. Make it extra wet and then eq it so it resonates from where you want it to.
This is the first video that comes up when you type house chords into google, notice the similarity. It seems as long as you stick to a specific set of guidelines you can achieve this. I also agree with Upavas, I have heard you make better...
And as to the part you wrote about that is even easier, don't let it be overwhelming its the most simple.
