So, a 60-piece orchestra and a 20 person choir perform songs from the Jaxx catalogue as well as tunes from the group's Felix Buxton.
They also drafted in a couple of guest singers ' Lisa Kekaula from the Bellrays, and Sharlene Hector (who has also sung with Gorillaz).
The 15-track album (with three bonus tracks on iTunes), Basement Jaxx Vs. Metropole Orkest, will be released July 11 on their Atlantic Jaxx label.
