Sorry, were we supposed to explain who he is? He's a Slovenian uplifting trance producer that more or less perfected breakdowns and became a huge success in the last 2 or 3 years

Well you kind of answered that yourself. You don't know who he is, so why care?
Strange that you cared enough to post here about it though. You're generally pretty level headed around here but that was just a really asinine post. You don't know who Blueman is, good for you, but there's plenty of people around here that do and we don't have to refrain from talking about him just because you don't know who he is.

So it's either interesting, groovy percussion or none at all? Those are the only two acceptable usages of percs in trance, period?
Everyone seems to love that Amoeba Assassin - Piledriver track but to me the actual chords and melody are boring as hell. Absolutely nothing interesting about them. But since the track is obviously drawing its energy and drive from the percussion and bass, and I'm aware of that, I didn't waste my time bitching about it in that remix thread devoted to it.
Not every track has to have absolutely every element that can make a track good in order for it to be interesting. Club tracks have ridiculously boring melodies but interesting grooves and basslines that make up for it. Uplifting trance is the opposite. If that scares people who vehemently believe that trance is a purely dance genre, then that's their problem, but they shouldn't take it out on the producers trying to take the genre in a new direction by criticizing it for completely irrelevant matters.
