Big Loada is a 1997 EP by UK Drum and bass & acid artist Tom Jenkinson under his recording alias Squarepusher. It was his fourth release on Warp Records (after the Hard Normal Daddy album, the "Vic Acid" single, and the Port Rhombus EP) in the UK, and was later released in the U.S., with an expanded track listing, by Nothing Records.

  2. "Full Rinse (Feat. MC Twin Tub)" – 2:23
  3. "Massif (Stay Strong)" – 6:26

  7. "Jacques Mal Chance (Il N'a Pas De Chance)" – 0:48

[edit] Nothing Records edition

The Nothing Records version features a rearranged tracklist with additional tracks unavailable in the U.S. at the time (Warp Records had not opened their American division yet, and arranged to release some of their material through Nothing):

  1. "Come on my Selector" – 3:24
  2. "A Journey to Reedham (7.am Mix)" – 6:35
  3. "Full Rinse (Feat. MC Twin Tub)" – 2:23
  4. "Massif (Stay Strong)" – 6:26
  5. "The Body Builder (Dressing Gown Mix)" – 3:02
  6. "Tequila Fish" – 6:09
  7. "Jacques Mal Chance (Il N'a Pas De Chance)" – 0:48
  8. "Port Rhombus" – 6:41
  9. "Problem Child" – 5:43
  10. "Significant Others" – 3:28
  11. "Lone Ravers (Live in Chelmsford Mix)" – 5:01
  12. "The Barn (303 Kebab Mix)" – 2:11
  • "Come on my Selector" Music video (CD-ROM track only)

The rearrangement of the tracks is to highlight the "Come on my Selector" video, directed by Chris Cunningham (whose work also includes videos for Aphex Twin, Autechre, and Björk), and which was included on the re-release. Tracks 8, 9, and 10 make up the full Port Rhombus EP, Jenkinson's first release on Warp. Tracks 11 and 12 are two B-sides to the Vic Acid single (although the G7000 mix of "Fat Controller" was not included on this release).

This edition has modified cover artwork as the large Warp Records logo had to be removed. The new cover features a crude pixel art rendering of a > (greater than) sign pointed towards a square, indicating "Squarepusher".

Some Nothing Records versions of Big Loada are actually copies of Budakhan Mindphone that have been incorrectly packaged and labelled.
