eclectic mix

Diverse selection combined

An eclectic mix is a collection of things drawn from diverse sources or styles.

The phrase often describes music playlists, décor, or groups of people notable for their variety: The party had an eclectic mix of artists, bankers, and grad students.

The term emphasizes range and diversity rather than coherence.
