What stands out about Contra is the intimate nature of the space. The layout allows you to be close to the performances, which makes for an immediate and personal experience. There is a DJ booth where sets are regularly played, but live concerts are also the focus. The program ranges from ambient and house to hip-hop, trap and melodic live performances. This makes the evening appealing to a diverse audience that loves different genres of music.
Cultural programming moves between Wednesday and Saturday, with events usually going on from 6 p.m. until the early hours.
