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.

A great DJ isn’t just fiddling knobs to look cool (although they do that too). By reading and understand the mood of the crowd you can dial up or down the emotional content of the music, making drops bigger or smaller, emphasizing vocals or deep bass, etc.
It’s why I prefer to listen to a full DJ mix with carefully chosen, mixed, and played songs over simply listening to a playlist.
