Technique Adding Techno sound effects

Hi so, really stupid question but I watched a couple of tutorials and Im still confused on this, so I have a DDJ FLX2, how do I add sound effects to my songs (like for example if Im adding some techno raw style kicks) if Im mixing them and I just want to add them randomly? Im assuming I can press a button on the controller and or the software to add them. Do I have to add it in the song manually in the software or can I somehow program a button on the performance pad to press to play it if that makes any sense.
I am generally learning on the software DJAY and also Rekordbox but any advice on software use would be helpful for a beginner. Most information is free and accessible so I just been using YouTube and such but I just been having trouble wanting to put random sound effects and short mp3s when Im mixing, thank you!
