Here's an old Mort Garson track from 1975, which I consider to be the first "electronic disco" song ever. I realize that not everyone would consider this "disco", but I still think it has the proper beat & rhythm for disco.

Baby, take me

Ataraxia is a classic but no way the first of it's kind. There's a whole genre of electronic protodisco from the early 70's big now in hip clubs,, countless quirky synth sides pulsing and buzzing madly with 4/4 beats. For a typical title check out Mister K who did an early all-lectronic disco version of Popcorn in 1972:

I'd have to agree that this sounds like the first definitive electronic disco tune. I've heard a lot of early dancefloor oriented tracks with a dance beat, but this is the oldest I've heard with a truly disco beat. This could be easily mixed into a bunch of later tracks and it wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb.
