Is this a genre?

I'm an avid fan of electro swing, but there are some songs that I especially love, those songs being Aftermath by Caravan Palace, Heart by Jamie Berry, and Lay Down by Caravan Palace. The reason I enjoy listening to these songs the most is because of a rhythmitic, repetive beat that they all have in the background. Aftermath has a sort of drum type sound, Heart has a constant clapping, and Lay Down has a low drumming as well. I know there are songs outside of the electro swing genre which I've heard before that also have these types of beats. What I was wondering is if there is a genre or a list of songs that anyone knows of that is based solely on songs that include this type of repetitive, rhythmitic beat, because these are the types of songs that I seen to enjoy the most. Any help is appreciated!

@alanwaston,
Lord Huron alsoincorporates a rapid handclapping sound in many of his "native American Rock" sounds.

@alanwaston,
Just listened to Aftermath and it echoed a few different things for me. But not a genre as such.

For example (and apologies if you know this stuff)



There's even a bit of your first track that reminded me of this old drum pattern

@alanwaston,
Heart by Jamie Berry on the other hand post-intro has a really plodding beat that reminds a lot of Stars On 45 and Jive Bunny

@alanwaston,
And the last Caravan Palace track reminded me of some Tango/Hip Hop crossover stuff I've got

@alanwaston,
Oh, and I realise I haven't given you want you wanted - a list of songs with those rhythmic ideas, but the bottom of the wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro_swing does have some related genres. But I suspect you might have to listen to a lot of Various Artist compilations to find the strawberries you're looking for.

I can keep an ear out for you if any of the stuff I've posted piqued your interest.
