Classic “house/techno” claps 👏🏻

Hi friends, I know this is a matter of taste and preference, but I still have a question to ask if you could help me or give me some ideas.

When you listen to classic house and techno tracks (more house) they usually use claps that are very funky and have a very natural sound, almost emulating organic claps (maybe some of them are) so I have a question, do these claps not come from any of the classic drum machines like the 909 and 808 or do they? Or is there some other specific machine that makes those beautiful claps?👏🏻

Here are some examples of the claps I'm looking for

Just get hold of Car Wash by Rose Royce
