In this episode of "Drops of Gold," Jeff Scult sits down with international DJ and musical visionary, Berge Sahakian, known to the world as Goldcap, for a deeply personal and enlightening conversation.

If you've ever found yourself dancing to Goldcap’s incredible beats, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the man behind the music. Berge reflects on his journey as a first-generation American with Iraqi-Armenian roots, sharing how his cultural background and global influences—from Moroccan psychedelia to Persian instruments—shape his unique sound. He dives into the spiritual and emotional power of music, revealing how vibrations and frequencies can profoundly alter our consciousness and connect us to something deeper.

The discussion also highlights Berge’s commitment to preserving cultural music, particularly from historically challenged regions, and how music bridges generations and keeps traditions alive. For the first time, Goldcap plays some of his rare instruments on air, offering listeners an exclusive experience. He also talks about the importance of improvisation in his performances, allowing the energy of the moment to guide his sets.

This episode is a journey into the heart of global music, creativity, and the universal language that unites us. Tune in to experience Goldcap in a new way and discover the stories behind the sounds that move us. Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.
