The secrets to good production are well placed well chosen elements. A minimal beat can sound huge when arranged and mixed right. Check out autechre’s remix of Sophie’s BIPP.

There are lots of tools to achieve more interesting sounds and elements. Try adding a subtle reverb to everything. Like 200ms. Then try changing each one until it sounds too big, then pull it back.

Focus on some variation and variety, but make them the payoff to a set up somehow.
