Deadmau5 redux Bon Sinclar Paul Van Dyk David Guetta (saw him in Argentina and he killed it) Fatboy Slim Daft Punk Kaskade Armin Van Buuren Benny Benassi Shpongle (full band!)
Roo has been trending towards huge names that are also big in the European festival circuit as well. I'm really interested to see if they continue down that road or if they pick a few smaller but equally awesome names this year.
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio." -Hunter S. Thompson
*A-Trak (I know he's not all electronic, but a DJ nonetheless) *Duck Sauce- this was his breakout year with his single Barbara Streisand, I think there's a decent chance of this happening.
BTW, Duck Sauce is actually a new duo project by both A-Trak and Arman Van Helden.
That being said, I could definitely see them being there.
Rabbit in the Moon Chemical Brothers Eoto Plastikman Booka Shade Pretty Lights Way Out West/Nick Warren Hernan Cattaneo STS9 Shpongle live set Daft Punk Unkle Jeff Mills ect.

I don't see Chemical Brothers happening because of their tour dates around the time of 'roo, but I'd love to see one or more of these: Justice Major Lazer RJD2 DJ Shadow Fatboy Slim Felix da Housecat Underworld (I think this would be epic, particularly in Deadmau5's spot from last year.

I think some drum and bass would be a nice change from the trance/house music.
Sub-Focus Dirty Phonics Danny Byrd Roni Size London Elektricity High Contrast also DJ Shadow Shpongle Glitch Mob Flying Skulls MartyParty or Panty Raid
I don't know if they'd fall into the genre (I suck at genres) but I've been streaming Cut Copy's new album this week and its really fun. I'd love to check them out live.
I personally think they need to hire someone to take care of just the Electronic talent. It usually leaves a lot to be desired when there is SO much more out there than trance and newer gimmicky acts. Yes, as fun as it is, Girl Talk and Deadmau5 are gimmicky acts.
I also HATE cd's and laptops. There's already enough issues with electronic vs. live music. Cd's and Laptops make it worse.

You can do creative things through laptops - my biggest quirp is the CD-J type setups, the controls are so small you can barely get creative on a cut. Stuck with the songs on the disc so you usually end up with the same club bangers you've heard a million times. Burned me up a little bit when at the Lunar Stage it seemed to be ONLY CDJ up there, not even a serato setup <- disappointed baby.
Justice Mstrkrft Bloody Beetroots/Death Crew Boys Noize Girl Talk Rusko Flux Pavillion Cut Copy 2manydjs/soulwax/whatever they call themselves Aeroplane KILLED it at Camp Bisco Major Lazer/Diplo The Avalanches (They've been working on that album for ever now and according to their website something is coming...finally done?) Atrak
Realistically we probably will get Mstrkrft, Rusko, Bloody Beetroots, Girl Talk, and another DJ (Would kill for soulwax). Im really hoping on Boys Noize, Flux, and Aeroplane.
But Death From Above and the Death Crew playing back to back late night would tear a hole in the earth. It has to happen
