Spoon scratching: Kenya's DIY DJ

A spoon, some towel hooks, a piece of kettle and a plastic cap that's all you'll need to make a mixing deck if you have the technical and musical skills of DJ Boboss.

The 27 year old - real name Paul Mwangi - has been building up a fanbase online and on the streets of Kenya with the one-ofa-kind deck that he put together himself.

It has even earned him slots at Uganda's Nyege Nyege festival, the largest in east Africa, and on the world-renowned club website Boiler Room.

But his favourite venue is Nairobi's bustling business district, where he set up on a recent Saturday among the stands of miraa (khat) vendors, the smell of grilled corn and the horns of matatus, the colourful minibuses of the Kenyan capital.

In a few minutes, dozens of curious onlookers had gathered, taking out their phones to film the amazing machine that spits out reggae hits.
