ok these elements are how the song usually flows and is up to you to decide what works. In most EDM its about building of tension and release, and making it flow.

The way you set up these elements is up to you and you can hear them in most EDM tracks. THe intro is the introduction, so first you have say the beat and bass for instance. Then the build up to a break down, an this is like say a break in an old funk track where things are muted or arranged to act like a drum roll into the next section.
Risers (sounds that rise like white noise filter sweeps) extenuate the build to.
This is usually followed by another build up and break down. Usually added more elements as well to next section so its busier again than before, then after 16 or 32 bars comes another build up / drop.

Key changes also help in transitioning to another part, usually to major kiey from minor for max bang for your buck

How can you not find information regarding EDM tracks to "research" ?

The internet is full of 2948239042 EDM tracks for you to reference and try to emulate until you understand how structured everything is. Even tons of youtube videos go into detail about this. :Sigh:
