The song was again remixed in 2012 by Swiss producers Antoine Konrad and Fabio Antoniali under the name "DJ Antoine vs. Mad Mark". It was released digitally in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland on 14 May 2012.

In June 2012, Unilever selected "Infinity 2012" as the soundtrack to the advertisement for the Magnum Infinity ice cream.{{cite web|title=Unilever confirms 'Infinity 2012 by Guru Josh' as official Magnum Infinity ice-cream track!|url=https://www.myspace.com/gurujoshmusic/blog/545814220|publisher=MySpace for Guru Josh|access-date=8 July 2012|date=31 May 2012}}

The music video premiered on MTV on 15 June 2012, and was first broadcast on Yahoo! Music on 20 August 2012.

The music video was filmed in an underground parking lot of a large city probably in the United States, according to the double graduation of the thermometer in degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit appearing several times in the clip.

The clip shows two young women dancing lasciviously and swaying around their respective vehicles, including a Ford Mustang as a police vehicle. One of them is German glamour model and playmate Jennifer Martin{{cite web

}} who plays the role of a policewoman who arrested the other. They then seduce each other while partially undressing, thus contributing to making the atmosphere in the parking lot "torrid", which triggers a fire alarm which sprays water on the two dancers. Throughout the clip, a young black man in glasses and a hat observes the scene from behind his Volkswagen Beetle and believes he is dancing with them in what seems to him to be a dream...

{{As of|2024|January}}, the music video for "Infinity 2012" has been viewed over 12 million times on popular video-sharing website, YouTube.
