British electronic music artist Guru Josh, most famous for the track ‘Infinity’, has died aged 51.
Guru's Josh's agent confirmed the artist's death to the Guardian.
The cause of death is unknown.
Guru Josh's real name was Paul Walden. He also used the name Louie Fabrix when creating his 3D glass art, which has been exhibited in New York, Madrid, Paris and Berlin.
There was only one Guru Josh Album, also called Infinity.
Walden said the song ‘Infinity’ was created when a friend of his commissioned him to create music for a night club of the same name.
The iconic saxophone sound on the track was initially derided.
"We pressed up to 500 copies and 480 people threw it in the bin," he told the Guardian in September.
"Everybody said: ‘You’ve got a saxophone on it, you’re nuts – you can’t do that,’ But [Hacienda DJ] Mike Pickering played it and the rest is history."
After the album was released Walden moved to Ibiza, where he died on Monday.
