Learn by imitation ; if you want to make DnB tracks, try and inevitably fail to recreate existing DnB that you admire. With time your failures-to-imitate will congeal into a novel and personal style.

This book [0] is full of great creative strategies to make electronic music, ways of getting started/unstuck, is generally not that tied to Ableton the software (even though they are the publisher), and is free to partially peruse online.

I’d recommend getting a physical copy once/if you find it useful. It’s been a really great help in getting over white page/DAW syndrome. Truly great and full of smart/useful gems.

You could grab some sample or instrument packs that will help you approximate the sound you are after more quickly.

Baby Audio has a pretty nice VST instrument and 90s preset pack that might have the sound you are looking for - have a listen here https://static1.squarespace.com/static/561e2985e4b08862a3496...

On a side note - if you are looking for people to help out I’d love to have a crack, also looking to learn.
