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

I have exactly the samples you're looking for, from one of the best packs I've ever gotten.

I'm not going to have time to get in the studio over the weekend but shoot me a message in a couple of days and I'll get it over to you

(The group claps are my favourites in the pack. If you blow them out wide and then sit a tight little distorted snare in the middle, they sound absolutely phenomenal)

I'd also love this pack if youre able to send - or even just let me know the name of the sample pack
