carve space aggressively with your eq.. cut off all the unneccessary lows, and eq with the harmonic series in mind.
dip your eqs at 2k for most other stuff particuarly your pads and synths, so your vocals pop out there, thats a presence/forward point of human hearing and so things seem louder there and more coherent and giving them some space might be just the ticket.. sidechaining will help bring out space between the kick and bassline. im suprised that with such a sparse arrangement you feel the vocals cant fit .
you could also try mixing M-S to ground kick snare bass and vocals in the middle but push the synths and high freqs out, ive heard some amazing dance records that absolutely slam that use MS processing.
