On Arlena, DJ Stan Johnson is able to expertly craft a dance track that links together disparate musical styles including salsa and funk into an effort that will get listeners out on the dance floor. Particularly interesting about Alena has to be the fact that the narrative requires no vocals to succeed; the dynamic achieved between the different instruments is enough to tell a rich and fulfilling story. The sizzling sax work laid down by Daryl Dixon pushes the song even higher into the stratosphere. A simply fantastic track to get things going, Arlena is a must-experience for anyone that is a fan of music done well.
