Hustlers Of Culture are a group that came out of Lewisham, London in Jan 1992, comprising of Matt Dykes, Richard Yori (latyer of Spice Of Life) Phil Dykes and Adrian Cox (of Pushmypullu). They released two albums and a small handful of singles, of which this is was their debut release and probably their most well-known.

Kool & The Gang - Summer Madness (1974)

Light of  Worlds was by far Kool & the Gang's most spiritual and sophisticated work, produced in the wake of the success of their previous album, Wild and Peaceful. 
Summer Madness is considered to be the album's highlight, incorporating smooth melodies and a mesmerizing synthesizer. It was later released as a single, with a follow up titled "Winter Sadness" to the Gang's Spirit of the Boogie a year later. A remake of Summer Madness was released on the Gang's 1993 album Unite titled WKOOL/Summer.
