My advice would be to learn to actually play some of, if not all of your music on instruments other than dj controllers. I've been to a ton of EDM festivals and I almost never see anything other than CDJs. I get that this type of music is difficult to re-create live, but if you show up with only a usb drive to a show, there really isn't anything to see you do on stage. Down with 100% pre-recorded music, I say!

As far as wavetables go, make your own in Serum:) Try to push yourself to not use presets, or at the very least, use presets as a starting point.

Try writing actual songs (where you sing) and not just "make beats"

just my 2 cents.
