Im not entierly sure, but I would guess that *some* elements would be
both faster and easier (to manipulate) if they were played straight off
a turntable as opposed to being sampled and then triggered in a
sequencer or whatever.
I know for sure that Dj Vadim have used turntables quite alot (you can
hear that easily), the same goes for Dj Krush and im *pretty* sure
Shadow did it on "In Flux"....but as for Endtroducing i dont know :/

I know one person that might know if he sampled or used turntables..ill
try to find out.
