Amsterdam Russ Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 A search on Google for the ice_kid email address brings up a few results - all related to the person posting on soul music blogs asking for digital files of the tracks being written about, and all from half a dozen years back or so. What you see is the person, seemingly from Slovakia, using a number of aliases, and you can in some instances click on their name in the blog posts and find a bit more info. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ice_kid007%40azet.sk&source Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
