I sorry, but I have a really hard time buying this. I've listened to "No UFOs" plenty of times, and there's no scratching or turtablism in it. Are you referring to "something that sounds like turntablism but wasn't done using a turntable", perhaps? The feel of turntablism without the actual thing itself?

I've just finished reading "Last night a DJ saved my life", which has several *excellent* chapters about disco. It's by Bill Brewster & Frank Broughton. You might start there for a great history of the genre.
