Nice one!
Suggestion: The sub-bass will need some work too.
I remember now that I've performed a D&B version of that file. You can hear the demo clicking [THIS LINK]. Maybe it can give some ideas.

Ok, I was playing a bit with your song. You can download it from [THIS LINK] (it's zipped).
This is what I've done:
- I added some dw_eq and highpass filters (HPF) in the other instruments/mixer inputs to remove sub-bass frequencies to give space to the bass.
- Bass: Added an instance of softsat psycle plugin to the bass, to improve it's presence giving some soft saturation. I've added a NYCompressor (side compression) to improve the punch of the bass
- Cymbal: Added an autopan instance in cymbal chain to give it some stereo movement. Added a side compressor too to improve its transients. Some eq touch too.
- Pad: Changed the range of cutoff frequencies and the range of Q (resonance) of FilterONE. I've moved up the range of frequencies of the filter because there was a gap upwards in the spectrum of the song where it could fit better.
- Drums: (1) The break: Added a Hass effect instance to make the sample stereo (just a small touch). (2) Snare: Some small eq changes. (3) Shaker: Some chorus to make it stereo. (4) Output: Added some eq and a side compressor to improve the punch.
- Mastering: A simple chain with 1 eq instance and 2 compressors. I've removed the Audacity compressor and inserted a soft compressor and a limiter. At the end there's an instance of Voxengo SPAN plugin to analyze the output.
I've tested this song with a set of hifi speakers in flat mode, but I don't know if it will sound fine in your configuration. As always to get better results it will need more work but I hope this will be useful for you.

sweet, when i get a chance, i'll listen to it.
i'm using some big old 70's NZ made speakers, though a jvc amp, which does have a fairly flat reponse, so hopefully it'll translate well
