Making a bassline and clap like this?

Listen to this first.

1. You can hear a very evident bassline. How do I recreate such a bass in 3xOSC or Zyn?

2. Also, on the 2nd and 4th upbeats after each kick, you can hear a nice noisy clapping sound. It isn't as sharp/dry as a clap, yet it sounds like a wet and soft static clap. It adds great variety to the monotonous kick loops. I've tried recreating this too, to no avail.

Can anyone show me the way? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd go with some kind of phase modulated sound, add some distortion and boost it with calf bass enhancer. Then sidechain it with the bassdrum.

The clap I'm not sure about...

For the clap, the best I've come up with so far: take a 909 clap sample, tune it a bit low, add a lowpass filter at around 2000hz with normal resonance, then add C* plate reverb with very low bandwidth, very low tail, very high damping and low blend - maybe around 0.2 or so.

This should get somewhat close to that sound. It's not completely the same but similar...
