I don’t really know much about the process of remixing a song but I can imagine it is a process that is like editing a video – layering tracks, adding beats, etc. They are clearly not doing that kind of editing live so they are basically playing something that’s already had some amount of that already done.
So what are they doing live besides maybe mixing between songs?
I just don’t understand what all the knob fiddling is about.

I’ve been to a show by Four Tet back in 2011 where he literally started the show by assigning out his MIDI keys and playing an instrument, capturing what was played, and building from there. He did it for a ton of stuff until he had a whole song in there and then he’d reverse, add, and play something else live to go with what was in the MIDI and playing on repeat.
One of the best EDM shows I’ve ever been to.
Here’s a really good video of how he puts things together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEUGilncRJs
