BBC Sound Of 2012 tip Dot Rotten is breaking out from the grime scene, producing himself entirely and opting against featuring other artists. And you can catch him at the Bristol 02 Academy on Thursday March 1.

While his set up single ‘Keep It On A Low’ was added to Radio 1's In New Music We Trust playlist, his new single ‘Are You Not Entertained’ (out March 5, Mercury Records) looks set to announce the savvy 22 year-old to the wider listening audience. It was made Zane’s ‘Hottest Record In The World’ last week and has gained support from Nick Grimshaw at Radio 1.

Landing a job at Saxon Studios gave him an opportunity to master his skills as a producer engineer, and he has cuts already with Spark, Griminal, Ghetts, Maxsta, P Money, Tinie Tempah and Wiley. Tour dates: 1-Mar-12 Bristol 02 Academy 2-Mar-12 Cardiff Solus 4-Mar-12 Norwich UEA 5-Mar-12 London Koko 8-Mar-12 Brighton Concorde 2
