with live record scratching
Explanation:
Just a hunch, but "record scratching" is what comes to mind. The vinyl record becomes an instrument for live music (even though it starts out as a recording). The recording itself is modified by scratching & other DJ tricks.

agree  Ken Cox: possibly also including special effects, but in any case sound (music) originating from vinyl records played back during the event (=> live)
