Febus is a free / advertising-free music streaming application I designed with the sole purpose of making you discover beautiful tracks from independent artists that deserve to be highlighted. If you like what they do, you can access their page from the app to bring them your support. Go see them live! Every week I will add some new discoveries to the playlist, and you can receive notifications for that if you want to.
Slash Music

Slash player is all about custom user experience on top of an official Spotify Premium access. It lets you view playlists, search songs and manage playlists in the same way you would if you were using Spotify. The main difference is that this application gives you an improved UI with strong focus on separate artist albums and playlists. In the future we’re looking to add even more ability to customize this player specifically for your everyday use.
