Good luck. I tried moving from iambic hexa- to pentameter in poetry this year, and after a decade of using pretty much the same style it wasn't an easy transition. Takes a while to get into the structure of thought.
I'm an amateur Instrumental EDM composer from Minnesota, and my genre is mainly Trance. I use FL Studio, play acoustic guitar and electric bass, and I sing as well. I'm the other half of the group Equilibria.

I understand your frustration. These things can take time. I would recommend taking a walk, doing some "light" reading, anything to clear your head. Try not to think about it, and don't let it stress you out. Creativity is like a powerful piece of technology- sometimes, it needs to be recharged. ;)

I understand this completely - stylistically I feel that I'm getting narrower and narrower, and it seems like a problem I can't fix without taking drastic measures of some kind. I'd suggest trying a new genre or sound perhaps, but it isn't a simple solution.
I am noticing a lot of your songs are trance/techno - what DAW are you using?

Yeah, it's a lot easier said than done. I'm going to try and go for Electro/House, Complextro, or something around those genres, as my friend is going to teach me how to make those styles.
Also, I use FL Studio.
