The group eventually issued, in August 1992, their debut album entitled Good 4 We on East West Records.

[2][3][4] D'Influence later released their 1995 sophomore studio album, Prayer 4 Unity on EastWest Records.

[14] In 2017, the band regrouped for one-off concerts at various top London clubs and summer festivals in the UK.

Reviewing their 'generation-spanning' set at Love Supreme festival, Mike Hobart of the Financial Times praised "the slinky, bass-heavy grooves that sustained their success in the 1990s."

He also proclaimed that D'Influence "last played a festival 17 years ago, their current revival coming about after a promoter saw... their annual get-together jam on Instagram.

As a group, D'Influence have produced and remixed hit singles for British pop and R&B artists such as Mark Morrison ("Return of the Mack"), Shola Ama ("You Might Need Somebody", "Much Love"), Lighthouse Family ("Raincloud") and for Ultra Naté ("New Kind of Medicine").
