There is a Sample CD that covers the exact type of material he's looking for - 'Sounds Of 
The Seventies - Funk and Disco Essentials'

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a spin off version with less content at a lower price. For 
example - StormBreakz is a reduced set from Stormdrum, Percussive Adventures 2 LE is a 
spin off from Percussive Adventures 2, etc. 

Of if cost is an issue, there is ProSamples series Vol 48 - Disco Fever:

Or how about 'Dance Mega disco House' from EastWest (not too expensive):

Good luck.
