So far, it seems the bill is what Squarepusher, Pantha du Prince, Thomas Dolby and Richie Hawtin. Justice, kinda. Am I missing anything?
Not yet awesome but not entirely bad either.
What's your source for Ritchie Hawtin coming? That would make me very happy, I've seen him all over the world but never in my hometown. What would be best is if they can get him to do a Decks, EFX, 909 set. I caught one of those once, wowzers!

Well Hawtin and Squarepusher are two of my most favorites. Even if the rest of the lineup happens to be sub-par I'll be quite happy with just these two! Just hoping they don't conflict..
As far as possible acts, I'd say at least a few of these will be there:
Peaking Lights - Just released a good record, made a lot of waves the last couple of years, great live act. Mouse on Mars - been touring recently with an awesome looking live set for a good new album. Simian Mobile Disco - Amazing new record, phenomenal live set, been playing lots of fests. Laurel Halo - lots of buzz in the past couple years, good new album, not many tour dates booked yet. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Great record, great live set, touring U.K. and Europe around Moogfest, but no dates booked during Moog.
Haven't gotten to check on any other bands with records coming out soon, but the fall is THE time of year for bands (especially non-mainstream) to be releasing records, so I bet there are some other good acts that will likely be touring around Moog.
Edit - I'd also add Maya Jane Coles, Modeselektor, Glass Candy/Chromatics, John Talabot and someone from 100% Silk to that list. And given that there seems to be a DJ focused venue this year, we'll probably get a lot of overlap from Sonar.

I, too, think MJ Coles will be there. Her DJ set would slay at Moog.
Also, anything from 100% Silk would be amazing, but if Octa Octa shows up, I'd be ecstatic. 'High Reflection' is such a great track.
Mouse on Mars - been touring recently with an awesome looking live set for a good new album.
I would LOVE to see Mouse on Mars! Squarepusher & Thomas Dolby are already enough for me to commit (and if Richard performs as Plastikman, that's enough for me to consider moving to Asheville).... but Mouse on Mars would be an incredible bonus. I'd love to see one of these: Mouse on Mars, Orbital, Future Sounds of London, or the Orb. All of those bring me back to the same level of nostalgia

Ditto. They did a video recently with Ableton talking about how they do their live set. Looks amazing!

A friend of mine has a group called "Motor" - ... I think they'd be perfect for Moogfest... does anyone know how I would be able to pass along some contact information to make this happen?

schmee - Squarepusher's Ultravisitor is a magnum opus. He has so many different styles, but that one rises above the rest in terms of a coherent work (as Squarepusher conceives "coherent" of course).
-When I Hear My Name -Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground -Blue Orchid -Passive Manipulation -Red Rain -Death Letter -My Doorbell -Hotel Yorba -Same Boy You've Always Known -Lovesick -Little Ghost -We're Going to Be Friends -The Hardest Button to Button -Black Math -The Nurse -I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself
Encore: -Ball and Biscuit -Seven Nation Army -Screwdriver

I'm watching Hot Chip at Pitchfork right now, and it's really making me want them for Moogfest. Anyone have any idea about their availability during that time?

Didn't even realize they were doing a live feed!! Thanks for this,and yes, I'd love to see them.
edit// holy crap, they just covered Fleetwood Mac's "Everywhere", probably my favorite FM tune. thank you!!
God that new Hot Chip album is so fucking good. Theyre prob my #1 for acts i havent seen I need to see.
And whoever mentioned Beach House, I gotta say that was one of the most boring live sets ive ever seen. Love their albums but their shit live, sorry. Imagine the XX playing on antidepressants

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
