1. Richie Hawtin is more popular because he's a marketing genius.

2. The Plastikman logo is an icon. Just like Coca-Cola logo.

3. He ran an extremely successful recordlabel (+8) that didn't limit
itself to strictly Detroit, therefore it had more sucess outside of Detroit.

4. Spaztik is perhaps the most versitile track of all-time. It works with
house, techno, booty... Everyone plays it, everyone loves it.

5. Even today, Rich aligns himself with exciting new technologies that are
not only cutting edge, but great for filling column inches in magazines.

6. Plus, he is definately in the top 10 DJ/producers in the world when it
comes to quality records and amazing sets.

But since quality in music is more or les subjective and I have no desire
to argue with anyone who believes that Richie is not a good artist, please
refer back to points 1-5 to answer the question 'why is hawtin more
popular?'
