Big Loada is a 1997 EP by UK drum and bass and acid artist 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.

The original Warp Records edition tracklisting consists of:
The Nothing Records version has 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):
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 prominent Warp Records logo had to be removed.
Some Nothing Records versions of Big Loada are actually copies of Budakhan Mindphone that have been incorrectly packaged and labelled.
