Overall, the track feels like it just needs some more "flesh". Maybe add some rizers/sweeps to build up/drop? And perhaps a little more variation with the percussion so it doesn't feel so flat all the way through.
 
 Better use of vocals this time around
 
 ...and I also use Cubase 5.
 
 :)

 add a sine wave layer to the bass. it's lacking low end

 I noticed you used snare fills in some parts. I suggest doing the opposite: try muting notes in the sequencer. Like, for example, the last kick in a 16 bar sequence. This gives it some tension/release, as well.
