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.

Most DJs have a very important tiny knob that they have to keep their hand on at all times. This knob needs to be very minutely tweaked clockwise or anticlockwise during the course of a set, this adjustment requires great concentration as can be seen from a lot of DJ videos since time immemorial. When the knob is perfectly adjusted you can see great satisfaction on the face of the DJ, and the most capable disc-spinners can nod quite enthusiastically while performing this task.
