“Producer Paul Walden made his recording debut as Guru Josh in 1989 with a white label 12″ of “Infinity” intended to promote a rave of the same name. Though only 1,000 copies of the 12″ were reportedly pressed, it became an acid house anthem at The Haçienda, an influential dance club in Manchester, England, where Mike Pickering, the club’s Friday night DJ, championed the song. In the wake of the song’s sudden popularity amid the British acid house scene, Guru Josh was offered a recording contract with Deconstruction, a dance music subsidiary of BMG.
