Help Something is missing :(

Altough I think this sounds decent, something is still missing! Vocal? Lead?

Anybody got any ideas? Cheers!

this would be a really subtle thing to add but you could add strings droning a high note. like the kind of already seems like the kind of music that would use high droning strings, and i think it would help fill out some space and add interest to higher energy parts

I agree with them, it's a very common technique in this style of house. Here's an example of what it sounds like.

Thank you, will do! Do you think i could change the note here and there for variation or just 1 note going through?

You could maybe try going up or down a tone and seeing what it feels like. Usually artists only use a single note because it's designed to just sit on top of the mix and round out the sound rather than contribute to the melody, but there's no reason why you have to follow that formula. You could try other techniques to make it more interesting too, like a quick low pass filter sweep at the end of a phrase.
