is this your first track?
it needs a lot of work. variation in sound, bassline, ... quite essential stuff really.
you used some beatbattle samples...
I mean , keep going but music is more than a beat 2 synthlines and some samples
it just sounds like you kinda randomly selected the synth notes you've sequenced

I understand Stino's comments, it does sound a bit random 
I think it's maybe because the notes don't really fit into a certain note scale (such as A major or C minor or something). While this is not really a necessity in dnb it does make melodies sound more accessible, and sticking to a certain scale (preferably combined with a chord structure) makes it very easy to make more layers, such as a bassline, second melody etc.
That's the thing I miss a bit in this track, layering. It's just a beat with a synth line on top and some looping bass sound.
Could use some variation too, you're using the same melody line for several sounds, and pitch it up an octave, but that doesn't make a really interesting track.
Also the break could use some work, the selection of the drum sounds is not very good, it are all good sounds by itself but they don't really fit together. The drums are really important in dnb (and the bass too 
) so I would suggest to focus on that first. Try to make a couple of tracks with just drums and a bassline. Try copying the breaks of tracks you like, that's a really good way to get the hang of drum programming. It's not easy and will take some effort, but it's worth it!!
Please don't be put off if you think these remarks sound negative, it's very difficult to make good dnb. There's only one thing I can say: practice makes perfect!! You will see that by the time you made your 6th track you will have learnt a lot!

I never do that
Anyway, have to agree with thechronic. Drums need work, melody sounds like you just rammed a bit on your keyboard until the pattern was full, and the bassline is hardly there (can hardly hear it on my system, which gives quite decent bass normally)
