Reply to Ideas of making a more creative set

Other than scratching (which I'm in the process and early stages of learning) are there any other techniques or little things that can be done to improve / make the set more noticeable and head turnin or is it just mainly beat matching / mixing which can only b done. I'm so out of touch but I'm really keen to soak up what info can b given my way. I've attempted to search in YouTube but Slightly unsure how to word it so not really getting any good tips (Loads on scratching techniques though)
I'm mainly spinning house/funky house, techno n trance.

All I'm using is 2x TT (str8-150) so could utilise the reverse mode n stop n start up speed option!!!! with an everyday run of the mill mixer.

Thanks. And look forward to hearing your ideas and techniques that you may use
