For hardware things like opening up a filter, increasing the decay of a voice, using spatial FX like reverb and delay will all add energy. As well as dropping out elements over time and doing any or all of the above to a main voice/motif.
In general arrangement terms in a DAW I like to steal arrangements from a track in the same genre I like. Drag the wav in and use markers to mark out everything, hats come in, ride comes in, break, kick drop, main break.... that kind of thing.
Even though you're stealing an arrangement it will never be the same.
