Denver electronic-hip-hop musician; named by Colin Ward in February 2015 Westword profile as a Denver musician “producing ‘top of the game’-sounding electronic hip-hop dance instrumental music.”
Also known as: gvndam
Drew Reininger performs electronic instrumental music under the alias gvndam. He is named by Colin Ward in Susan Froyd’s February 3, 2015 Westword “Another 100 Colorado Creatives” profile (#38: Colin Ward) as one of two Denver musicians Colin singles out as a favorite, alongside Ryan Mcryhew (Thug Entrancer): “Also Drew Reininger (gvndam) has been producing ‘top of the game’-sounding electronic hip-hop dance instrumental music.”
Beyond that single corroborating mention in the 2015 article, no other vault-confirmed information about Drew Reininger or gvndam exists yet — this is a stub created during the Session 18 FLOOD triage / press-entry enrichment pass on 2026-05-12.
Open questions
- Does gvndam have a Bandcamp page / Soundcloud / streaming presence that survives?
- Did Drew Reininger play any Rhinoceropolis shows alongside Colin?
- Did gvndam appear on any Fantazia / Fantasia lineups?
- Is “gvndam” a phonetic spelling of “Gundam”? (Likely — the dropped-vowel pattern matches Colin-era Denver-scene aliases.)
